npm install fails when node_modules is a symlink #10013
Description
Steps to reproduce:
cd `mktemp -d`
npm init --force
ln -s `mktemp -d` node_modules
npm install --save-dev [email protected]
npm install --save-dev [email protected]
Gives the following warning:
npm WARN update-linked node_modules/typescript needs updating to 1.7.0-dev.20151014 from 1.7.0-dev.20151006 but we can't, as it's a symlink
which should be an error because the install has not updated the installed version:
$ ./node_modules/.bin/tsc --version
message TS6029: Version 1.7.0-dev.20151006
Repeat the above but without a symlinked node_modules and it works just fine:
$ ./node_modules/.bin/tsc --version
message TS6029: Version 1.7.0-dev.20151014
Important details:
$ node --version
v4.2.0
$ npm --version
3.3.8
