Unable to build locally - remove package-lock.json

[Nauzer]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Bug

What is the current behavior? If you try to clone repo and run locally you get the following (or similar) error:

npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "node_modules/aframe/node_modules/three-bmfont-text/three-buffer-vertex-data@dmarcos/three-buffer-vertex-data#69378fc58daf27d3b1d930df9f233473e4a4818c" as it does not contain a package.json file.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /Users/marknaus/.npm/_logs/2022-09-16T07_47_45_075Z-debug.log

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce. Clone repo locally Run npm install An earlier try go stuck on 'debug@github:ngokevin/debug#noTimestamp' which is mentioned in the package-lock.json.

Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Operating System and Device Name Mac OS 12.0.1 - M1 Pro Macbook Pro 16-inch 32gb RAM

What is the expected behavior? Running npm install allows me to build locally.

If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behavior? N/A

Suggested Resolution Remove package-lock.json from repo After removing it locally I can run npm install just fine. Can make a PR if desired.

Hi @Nauzer thanks for reporting this. It could be that you are using a different node version , but probably this is not the problem. Can you tell us which node and npm version you are using? We use node version 14.19 as stated in .nvmrc file https://github.com/AR-js-org/AR.js/blob/0722816b2afaf327186e40e38e1de454a3f5d434/.nvmrc#L1 You could try to use the same node version running nvm install 14 and nvm use 14. But probably this error is caused by other reason, read this article https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48143945/what-is-the-err-code-enolocal-npm-err-could-not-install-because-of-an-error The package-lock.json is also used by the github action to perform code checking, and enable automatic dependency alert, so in turn we don't want to remove it.
