NPM error on install

[mdathersajjad]

Installing clearbit via npm install in heroku causes ssh error. I faced this issue previously it was resolved the next day without any changes. I have attached the logs which it tries to execute.

npm ERR! Error while executing:
npm ERR! /usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/clearbit/needle.git
npm ERR!

We're seeing a variant of this also on Heroku:

The failing integrity check also coming from clearbit/needle.

Any updates on this? It's happening every other time I update node packages, and might mean I can't use Clearbit going forward.

Actually I think I just solved this by using more recent versions of node as follows:

  "engines": {
    "node": "15.12.0",
    "npm": "7.6.3"
  }

[mdathersajjad]

@pkprosol just remove the package and directly call the API using axios or fetch. As for the original concern the problem doesn't seem to be with package. Just remove the package-lock.json and try to deploy it will work.

Having this same issue - deploying on Vercel. Only recently.

Hey All,
Just wanted to explain my workaround for the issue. Looks like clearbit is using an ancient version of needle for some reason. It seems to work fine on my computer but refuses to deploy anywhere. My solution was replacing it with the open source maintained version found here.

Steps to fixing this (from my experience):

1. Deleted your package-lock.json
2. Run npm install --save tomas/needle
3. In node_modules/clearbit in package-lock.json, replace the dependency on needle to github:tomas/needle
4. In clearbit later down in the file replace the needle dependency with github:tomas/needle

Not sure if steps 3 or 4 are needed but these 4 steps worked for me. Hope this helps anyone else who runs into this issue! See attached pictures if you are having trouble understanding steps 3 and 4.

I hope that clearbit gets around to fixing it because it seems like such an easy fix.
