Image size nearing 400MB (.nyc_output) about alpine-node HOT 8 CLOSED

@PuKoren I'm not sure why nyc is installing? Are you adding that yourself? I don't think it's part of the base installation

from alpine-node.

@mhart nop I just copy/pasted the Dockerfile from this repo and ran a build to test it. Using VERSION=v6.2.0 NPM_VERSION=3.

That is very weird. From what I googled I see that nyc is used for tests reports? I wonder why npm have it... Still digging into the issue, will update this issue as I find more info

from alpine-node.

AFAICT that directory only appears if you run the nyc command – maybe it's being run during a test or something... Maybe another npm module is running it during installation? I certainly haven't seen it before

from alpine-node.

The only other thing I can think is that some npm module (maybe even npm itself?) has accidentally added that directory (or forgotten to include it) to their module and published it!

from alpine-node.

I just checked this myself and you're absolutely right – happens on my local machine (a Mac) too: npm/npm#12873

from alpine-node.

@PuKoren have confirmed it's an issue with npm – the latest version (v3.9.3) is huge!

npm/npm#12873 (comment)

So don't worry, it's nothing you've done 😸 – you could manually install npm v3.9.2 if you want, or delete the nyc_output directory – or wait for the next npm version

from alpine-node.

(going to close this – nothing really we can do about it until npm update)

from alpine-node.

So it will be fixed in npm v3.9.5 by the looks of it

from alpine-node.
