[Bug] npm error when trying to install plugin

• Insomnia Version: 6.0.2
• Operating System: Windows 10

Details

I’m trying to install a plugin, insomnia-plugin-jwtdecode to be specific, but I get the following error when trying to install via Preferences -> Plugins:

insomnia-plugin-jwtdecode npm error: Command failed: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\insomnia\app-6.0.2\Insomnia.exe --no-deprecation C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\insomnia\app-6.0.2\resources\bin\yarn-standalone.js info insomnia-plugin-jwtdecode --json

I opened DevTools, but I don’t see an error, I only see: [plugins] Fetching module info from npm

Please let me know if you want me to provide more information. Thank you.

Hi,

I succeed to install insomnia-plugin-jwtencode plugin with the following commands

Was such a hard time to found out how to do it, even with docs when you’re a new Insomnia user. Hope it could help some of you until it’s “fixed”. 👍

I’m seeing this exact same problem, same output and results. 6.0.2 / Windows 10. Workaround was to go into the plugins folder and npm install insomnia-plugin-default-headers (which is using my NPM installation instead of the bundled Yarn, but it seems to work anyways).
