! zlib: unexpected end of file

[jet10000]

npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#rollup" my-app
npx: installed 33 in 20.401s
! zlib: unexpected end of file

Windows7, node v10.16.3, npm 6.9.0

I run npm cache clean --force, but still have this problem, and I found the my-app folder is empty.

But I can clone webpack's

npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#webpack" my-app
npx: installed 33 in 13.577s
> cloned sveltejs/sapper-template#webpack to my-app

I haven't seen this reported before, and it's not a bug in Sapper. It wouldn't surprise me if this were a network issue or a dropped connection, especially given that it's taking npx 20 seconds to download degit. If you're having trouble with degit, you can just download a zip of the appropriate branch.

Sorry my bad english.

Just in case, I’ll leave a decision suddenly who else comes across. There was the same problem. npm cache clean --force will not help because the broken one is not the npm cache, but the archive downloaded by degit. Since degit is trying to use the cache, it does not pump it. It is solved by deleting the degit folder which in linux is located on the $HOME/.degit path. Or you can delete the cache exactly svelte ~/.degit/github/sveltejs.

deleting $HOME/.degit folder works.
