Hi @dmulik - I'm moving this post to our npm category as you may be more likely to receive a response there. Best of luck!

The error "npm ERR! code 1" and "invalid path" occurs when npm fails to check out a Git commit due to problematic file paths. To fix it:

1. Update npm and Git to the latest versions.
   2.Clean npm cache:
   npm cache clean --force
2. Remove and reinstall dependencies:
   rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
   npm install
   This should resolve the path issue and allow npm to proceed @dmulik .

Nice @karthickkumarsm! That's exactly what I would have suggested.
