Travis CI: npm install ERESOLVE


Travis CI

I received an npm install error for my Travis CI build after upgrading my dependencies:

npm install

npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree

This started happening with npm v7 and I realized it’s related to build cache:

Setting up build cache

$ node --version
v15.1.0
$ npm --version
7.0.8
$ nvm --version
0.36.0

So I ended up disabling npm cache in .travis.yml to get a green build:

# .travis.yml
cache:
  npm: false

Local

To fix this error locally, delete node_modules and reinstall:

rm -rf node_modules && npm i
