Why does npm postinstall run bower install? about moment-recur HOT 9 CLOSED

This is now fixed in 1.0.7 - pre and post install scripts have been removed.

from moment-recur.

I am trying to install VIA NPM onto a node server, and I am getting the same issue. moment-recur will not install because of the preinstall. I've tried installing just the two dependencies by themselves, and it still won't install.

Can be circumvented by adding a .bowerrc file to your project root with { "allow_root": true }

gulp is already in devDependencies. why are you installing it again as a preinstall script? can bower be added to devDependencies, too? or is there some reason you put it in preinstall? i'm referring to this:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "gulp test",
    "preinstall": "npm install bower gulp",
    "postinstall": "bower install"
  },

thanks @bmathews that did the trick

This makes it impossible to run npm install && npm shrinkwrap because NPM will see gulp and bower as extraneous deps and error

This is still a bug even with the workaround. the preinstall and postinstall should be ran before publishing to npm and we should only get the module's files when we require. I don't have bower on my container and this makes it impossible to use the library :(

You may want to move away from bower anyway:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: ..psst! While Bower is maintained, we recommend Yarn and Webpack for *new* front-end projects! Yarn's advantage is security and reliability, and Webpack's is support for both CommonJS and AMD projects. Currently there's no migration path but we hope you'll help us figure out one.

This is exactly why I created this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/moment-recur-npm / https://github.com/fubar/moment-recur-npm

(I still need to pull the recent changes into it.)
