重建package-lock.json时遇npm ERR! Cannot convert undefined or null错误求助

现有项目的package-lock.json因不明原因被删除，尝试通过npm i --package-lock-only或直接执行npm install重建该文件时，触发以下错误：

npm ERR! Cannot convert undefined or null to object

具体调用栈日志如下：

$ node --version
v18.16.0

$ npm --version
9.6.5

解决步骤 #

• 清理npm缓存：执行npm cache clean --force
• 删除本地依赖文件夹：Windows系统执行rd /s /q node_modules，Linux/macOS执行rm -rf node_modules
• 检查package.json文件：确认所有依赖的版本号格式正确，无空值或无效版本定义
• 升级npm至最新稳定版：执行npm install -g npm@latest
• 重新执行npm install或npm i --package-lock-only重建package-lock.json
