npm ci warns tar invalid entry and throws error as cb never called

Our project installs the node_modules using package-lock.json with the help of npm ci command.

And this is what we see always:

npm WARN prepare removing existing node_modules/ before installation
npm WARN tar invalid entry
npm WARN tar invalid entry
...
npm ERR! cb() never called!

Node version: 14.18.1

NPM version: 6.14.15

Environment: Mac OS Big Sur 11.6.2

Is this warning to be ignored? Can we suppress this warning and error?

It may be a caching problem it append to me.

  • Clean the cache npm cache clean --force
  • Install the packages npm install

EDIT: don't forget to remove the node_modules/ folder before executing the commands.
