error cb() never called! - error while doing npm install

Question

I am trying to install node modules in my angular project. But while doing npm install I get the following error

npm ERR! cb() never called!
npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:
npm ERR!     <https://npm.community>
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
