So this error randomly popped up while I was working on my project:

enter image description here

I've searched online and most of the answers ask to run npm cache clean --force. This did not work for me :(

I've also tried to reinstall npm but still get the same error.

Here is the error-log:

Error-verbose

I've been stuck on this for a while hoping someone can help me out :/

    Looks like the package-lock.json file has been corrupted. Fix it to be valid JSON. Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 19:12

You should try to reinstall entirely nodejs from your computer. This could solve the problem.

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get install nodejs

You can try "yarn" instead of npm.

Installation (If you are using Mac):

brew install yarn

Or check here https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/

Then just run (Works like "npm install")

yarn

For my Vue.js project this problem was solved by first deleting the package-lock.json file and then running npm install

Comment from @user2864740 helped point me in this direction, thank you!
