"premature close" error during npm install from git url

[alundiak]

I know/see, that this repo doesn't have package.json, and I do

npm install https://github.com/coryetzkorn/state-svg-defs.git 

Also tried ssh. Same result.

I'm from MacOS v10.13.4 have node v10.1.0 and npm v6.0.1 and it throws me an error:

As I understand it's either npm issue with package with no package.json or smth else.

I found similar issues in npm, but looks like ti was solved in node v8:

• "premature close" error not thrown in node 8.2.0 or newer mafintosh/end-of-stream#14
• "premature close" error when calling destroy on source stream mafintosh/pump#25

@coryetzkorn as a suggestion, I would recommend you to add package.json and publish this module. I'm using it for my work related project, and recently I moved stateface from Bower (https://github.com/propublica/stateface) to NPM, but, in fact I found that SVG files are using from this repository. I still working on my task, and maybe I will get rid of using files from your repo and reuse dmn-stateface module (https://github.com/DallasMorningNews/stateface which is fork from probulica repo but published as npm module)

PS. Here is log from Node 6.x and npm 3.x on Windows 7, and it's about another error EISDIR:

Same Problem
Do not tell me use yarn
We are talking about npm

[Asfolny]

I feel the need to comment this out for anyone who finds this into the future and arrives here confused like me;
The issue is the lack of a package.json in the 'module' you want to install (see npm issue#20824) and seems to be impacting only npm install

I could tell you to use yarn or to just clone the repo, it doesn't seem like anything will happen anytime to it soon tbh, or just wait and see for a pull merge

THANKS A LOT!!!

Any updates

This happened for me when my package was missing a package.json
Execute npm init to create one (it will automatically guide you through the process).

I got this when the git repo I was pulling in had an extra comma within it's packages.json.

i.e. I was pulling in github:deftdawg/jexcel#patch-implement-checkbox-filtering and the
https://github.com/deftdawg/jexcel/blob/patch-implement-checkbox-filtering/package.json had an extra comma... Per the fix patch below:

@deftdawg Thanks a lot! You saved me so much time!

"premature close" certainly is a very detailed error message... 😒

Sure thing, master branch not updated since 2017, so it looks the package not maintained. So I do close this my issue, coz seem to be not relevant at all.
