browserify broken when installed via npm about browserify HOT 14 CLOSED

1. I just fixed the #! issue and wrote some tests for it.
2. I would rather not have to keep es5-shim up to date myself when it's already up on npm unless there is a compelling reason to do this.
3. It seems like package.json.js would be a sufficiently rare corner case to ignore completely, especially given that node v0.4 now gives special treatment in require() to package.json now. I might not be understanding your problem though.

sorry, my bad.

I had an old version of npm and it was installing differently. upgraded, and reinstalled and everything works now.

so it's looking like the issue is just you need npm: ">=0.3.0" in package.json

from browserify.

Old npm shims break stuff but I don't directly require() npm anywhere so I'm not sure whether I should introduce a dependency on npm. This will fix itself over time I hope.

from browserify.

seems related, i get the following upon require('dnode') -

node.js:134
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^

@ayal Can you npm update es5-shim and get back with if that changed things any?

from browserify.

ayal,

that looks like the same thing.

what version of npm are you using?

browserify is not compatible with the way old versions of npm installs things.

this was fixed by upgrading npm to latest (which was 0.3.15 at the time) and reinstalling es5-shim.

browserify is now a dependency of dnode, right substack?

from browserify.

@dominictarr: Affirmative. It makes bundling web-compatible versions of the dependent modules traverse and dnode-protocol much simpler.

from browserify.

@substack, @dominictarr: trying to upgrade npm at the moment and failing - will let you know when i get there. fanks.

helloz, i now have the latest npm but still es5-shim is installed as 1.0.0 whether it is through browserify or a separate install..

from browserify.

did it work?

es5-shim must be installed by a late version of npm. maybe reinstall it?

if it is, NPM_ROOT/es5-shim/package.json should exist.

in your case it looks like that will be:

/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/nvm/0.0.6/package/v0.4.5/lib/node/es5-shim/package.json

nope, what exists in that location is "package.json.js" which indicates the version is 1.0.0 and no matter how i try to remove/uninstall it, when i re-install it using the latest npm ([email protected]) i still get that version of es5-shim.

from browserify.

gotacha, that is how older versions of npm install modules. you need:

npm uninstall es5-shim

(make sure it's gone, if that doesn't work you should be able to delete it
manually with rm)

then reinstall.
