How did you install nvm?

What steps did you perform?

nvm install v12.19.0 --reinstall-packages-from=v10.15.3

What happened?

it exited totally after failling to install one package - tstags

I installed tstags from git, so it's normal that npm cannot find it.
But nvm should give a list with succeed packages and failed packages instead of failling all...

What did you expect to happen?

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?

[ljharb]

After that fails, I'd expect the actual nvm install to have succeeded, but the overarching command would exit nonzero because the package reinstallation failed. I'd also expect every package alphabetically before the failed one would successfully install. Is that the case?

[0x8f701]

@ljharb Yes I would like to see a list with succeed/failed packages so that I can manage those failed packages

[ljharb]

The reinstalled global packages are all installed as one npm install command, both for speed and for simplicity of the code. Can you share the exact output you got?

hi @ljharb here the logs, tstags is installed using git url, so it's normal that npm cannot find it

[ljharb]

Thanks. Looking at this tho, it's still proceeding to re-link global packages - I assume that echo $? at this point prints out 0?

[0x8f701]

@ljharb yes it's 0
