If you just added one of these lifecycle scripts to your package and published the changes to a registry:
In package-lock.json
of the project that consumes your package as a dependency, ensure your package has "hasInstallScript": true
. On npm ci
or npm install
, npm
looks for the existence of this flag in package-lock.json
rather than scanning each library’s package.json
for “preinstall”, “install”, or “postinstall” scripts.
If your package is part of an organization, then it may be due to this bug: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/4821
Or this bug: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/5380
For what it’s worth, I am using both a custom registry with packages under an organization.
