Wrong description output of cwd instead of library
franciscop opened this issue · comments
meow
is outputting the description of the cwd's package.json, not of the CLI tool. I created check-licenses
, which uses meow
, and running it in a local project (let's call it "abc") outputs:
~/abc $ npx check-licenses --help
Abc description here // <- Here is the problem
A simple tool to check all the licenses in your dependencies:
$ npx check-licenses
$ npx check-licenses --list
I believe the intended "description" here should be of the check-licenses
package I created, not of the dev-package currently being active on the terminal. Is that assumption correct?
Meow fetches the description using import.meta
, so it sounds like you're passing in the incorrect import.meta
.
Thanks for the quick reply! That seems like a new option for ESM that I wasn't aware of (happy long term user of meow 😊). I just tried adding it and republish but still seems to get the wrong directory?
// https://github.com/franciscop/check-licenses/blob/master/index.js#L48
...`,
{
importMeta: import.meta,
flags: { list: { type: "boolean", alias: "l", default: false } },
}
);
I'm supposed to just pass it like this, right? Both the npx check-licenses
and installing it and running it seem to still use the local project description instead of the library one.
Okay I forgot to upgrade meow
, so the code I was seeing inside meow was different from my dependency. I noticed when I saw that there was no warning/error for me thrown even when I didn't provide importMeta in if (!(options.importMeta && options.importMeta.url)) {
. Fixed, thanks!
