"err.code.match is not a function" after a failed git clone about pacote

Confirmed - this still appears to be an issue in 6.9.0. Not sure yet what the underlying error is, since it is getting masked by the bug.

#170 is merged!

I got hit by this too. Lost internet connection during and npm install. So that might be a way to trigger the bug, npm install and manually disconnect computer from the internet.

npm -v
6.9.0
node -v
v10.15.3

Forgot to say that I only use npm, not pacote.

pacote is a dependency of npm (package.json).

Issue still persists. Have anyone found the solution?

Cause: it is coming from this line of code within with-tarball-stream.js.

if (opts.cache && err.code && !err.code.match(/^E\d{3}$/)) { ... }

#170 aims to fix this.

Not yet, you can watch the PR for more details.

I approved the changes, but I don't have permissions to merge, so we'll have to wait for official approval.
