insomnia: [Bug] npm error when trying to install plugin

Hi,

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

C:\Users\ngigou\AppData\Roaming\Insomnia\plugins
λ yarn add insomnia-plugin-jwtdecode
yarn add v1.6.0

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).

I’ll get an update to yarn-standalone.js into the next release. Thanks for testing that out @senoctar! ❤️

Looks like the one that’s in there now is 1.8 so it’s pretty old.

Can someone verify whether or not PR #1425 fixed this issue?

I have the same problem in Insomnia 6.2 (Windows 10). When I try to install any plugin in app. It just says:

insomnia-plugin-jwtdecode npm error: Command failed: “C:\Users\Michal\AppData\Local\insomnia\app-6.2.0\Insomnia.exe” --no-deprecation C:\Users\Michal\AppData\Local\insomnia\app-6.2.0\resources\bin\yarn-standalone.js info insomnia-plugin-jwtdecode --json

When I try suggestion above:

In both attempts plugin is not installed.

The only way right now is to go to the plugins folder and install it by hand (npm install insomnia-plugin-jwtdecode)

BTW: It is the same for any plugin, not just jwtdecode.
