It seems that the problem caused by checking the audit failure.

however, sometimes it can be executed successfully, and at the same time, an error is reported in the audit check.

when I turned off the audit check, it was stable and successful.

When I turned off the audit check, it was stable and successful.

Expected Behavior

I think audit check should be stable for npm install . It shouldn't be a case of occasional success and occasional failure now.

Steps To Reproduce

1. create a build image through dockerfile

FROM node:18-buster-slim

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    build-essential libssl-dev && \
    chmod -R 777  /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN yarn global add @angular/cli@12.2.0 --unsafe-perm

2. run the build in K8S,execute the script in the pod

npm config set registry=http://nexus.proxy/repository/npmtao
npm install --verbose

[wraithgar]

Yes you are going to need to disable audits if your registry does not support them. Specifically if your registry returns a 400 instead of a 404. 404 tells npm that audit endpoint doesn't exist. 400 tells npm that the request had some sort of error that npm could theoretically recover from if it sent a more correct request. This doesn't appear to be the case, it appears that the registry you are using is incompatible w/ the audit request npm sends.
