I want to install a package which has a dependency on licensezero-postinstall.
licensezero-postinstall has a devDependency on the standard
library, and a
dependency on wordwrap
. I expect that when I run npm install --production
,
the dependency wordwrap
will be installed, and standard
will not be installed.
I also expect that running npm ls --production
will not show any extraneous
dependencies.
This is important because, for example, vsce
uses npm ls --production
command to build packages for the visual studio code marketplace, and expects
npm ls
to not have any extraneous dependencies.
Finally, npm prune --production
does not remove the standard
library.
standard
will be installed, and npm ls
will show standard
as an
extraneous dependency.
git clone git@github.com:jbeard4/test2.git`
cd test2
npm install --production
npm ls --production
Shows extraneous dependency:
