Getting cb() never called! Error from npm

Question

I am trying to run the command 'set NODE_ENV= && npm ci', but I am getting an error from npm saying "cb() never called!"

I have done a lot of Googling to see others have had this issue, but none of the solutions I have found have worked. Also most of the posts I have seen are several years old so they could easily be outdated now.

Does anyone know how to go about resolving this issue?

Try switching your network, somehow switching network worked for me.

I have tried many things, like:

1. npm cache clean --force
2. Delete existing node_modules, delete package-lock.json, and reinstall using - npm i
3. npm cache verify
4. npm clean-install

None of the above worked for me, might work for you. Try your luck.
