npm run does nothing

I've been working with Node.js/npm for a while, but I never used npm scripts. I was quite surprised to find that I can't get them to work at all on my Windows/Cygwin system. With a package.json like this ...

{
  "name": "demo",
  "scripts": {
    "env": "env",
    "hello": "echo Hello!",
    "crap": "I am complete nonsense."
  }
}

... all three npm run commands do nothing. npm run crap executes and returns immediately with an OK status (I tested with the -dd parameter); npm run doesntexist throws the expected error. Testing without Cygwin on the regular Windows shell made no difference.

I finally found out myself. There is an npm setting with which you can stop all npm scripts from running. For some reason, my userconfig file ~/.npmrc contained the setting ignore-scripts = true. If you run into this problem, check npm config list.
