I tried all that...but no luck...saw an open issue on @sinonjs/formation which is a dependency for sinon. I followed some steps shown over there but that did not help :( — jack

this just came back later in the day with no issues... i'm assuming something was wrong with the repo for some brief time. — Jeff Martin

I still cannot install the latest version of sinon that is 4.2.2. I tried just now and did not have any luck with that — jack

There's apparently some issue with the encodeURI. Which can be caused by a lot of things. The sloped slashdot for scoped packages gets turned into %2f, so you get a 404 package not found. Long story short, removing the ~/.npmrc file fixed it for me. Be careful to back it up since it may also contain useful stuff in there.

Have a look here and the links in the threat: https://github.com/sinonjs/formatio/issues/14#issuecomment-371681402

Someone was having the same issue here

I was using version webpack 3.9.1 and upgraded as told there, but I am still having the issue with npm, my error message is not exactly the same but I am quite positive [email protected] is causing the issue.

Maybe you will have more luck than me, trying that bit with webpack, assuming you have it installed.

Ah ^^' It could also be useful to have the full error stack... To have the whole picture.

It looks like the core of the issue is lack of support for scoped packages in caches (Sinopia) and registries (Artifactory).

This issues is being tracked in https://github.com/sinonjs/formatio/issues/14, where solutions include removing ~/.npmrc (which sometimes contain directives to always use a different registry).

thanks for your comment. I removed the directory but it did not solve this issue. I also downgraded my npm version to use 5.6.0 and still facing the same issue.
