I’m running a Windows 7 batch file that attempts to update npm’s registry but it fails to execute properly. I suspect the command is misinterpreted because ‘set’ is a reserved term in both npm and the batch shell. Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution?
@echo off
set REG_URL=https://registry.npmjs.org/
npmconfig updateRegistry %REG_URL%
hey try wrapping ur reg url in quotes. i had a similiar issue and that did the trick. also check that your npm version is updated. hope that helps.
I once faced a similar problem when attempting to update the npm registry device in a batch file. The key was realizing that combining shell environment variables with npm commands can cause parsing issues. I resolved it by clearly separating the shell variable assignment and the npm configuration command. By explicitly calling npm config set registry and surrounding the URL with quotes, I bypassed the ambiguity. Also, confirming that the npm version was current proved beneficial. This method streamlined the process and eliminated misinterpretation errors.
