One of my "how I got burned today" blogs. Spent some time on it so thought to share.
I started with writing a simplistic application using NodeJS today using Visual studio 2017. Tried to install NodeJS using the "Install new npm Package option".
The "Install New npm package" dialog opens. Typed in the name of the package and clicked install "Install Package"
Absolutely nothing happened. No errors or messages were shown and my package wasn't installed. Turned out that there was a syntax error in my packages.json file, where I had missed out a comma. Would have been nice if visual studio had captured this error and shown some sort of message. I am using Visual Studio 2017 Update 3.
