Observed behavior ----------------- [build]$ devtool add "npm://registry.npmjs.org;name=grunt-cli;version=1.1.0" Command completes without error and does not require nodejs-native to be man ually build aHEAD OF TIME. Notes ------ 1. This is a regression. The above 'devtool add' command works on krogoth. 2. nodejs-native recipe should not allow fallback to node installed on host 66700 1 bluelightning 2016-09-28 19:36:37 +0000 1. devtool add did require npm on krogoth - there's no way it could fetch the source for the specified npm package without it. It may be that we check for it now where we didn't before. I'll have to investigate. Do you have npm available on your host? 2. Not sure I understand what you mean - should *not* allow ? If devtool attempted to build nodejs-native if it could not run npm, would that be OK? 66718 2 sjolley.yp.pm 2016-09-29 14:46:38 +0000 Henry - please comment 66719 3 brian.avery 2016-09-29 14:48:47 +0000 yes. I believe so. It seems like we should either: 1) document that to use the node functionality you need to have host npm or 2) (better, i think) just try to build nodejs-native if not available. When I had no host npm and had built nodejs-native, it worked. 66730 4 henry.bruce 2016-09-29 17:28:11 +0000 To extend on my original comments 1. To clarify observed behavior on krogoth When running devtool add "npm://registry.npmjs.org;name=grunt-cli;version=1.1.0" 'devtool add' fetches and builds nodejs-native then completes successfully 'devtool build grunt-cli' will then complete successfully 2. On master the observed behavior (i.e. failure) can be avoided if npm is installed on host. We should update devtool's npm support to avoid using host's npm as its version is not controlled and force use of npm from nodejs-native. Thus if nodejs-native is not available, 'devtool add' of npm project should fail. I hope that makes more sense. 66961 5 bluelightning 2016-10-05 19:38:50 +0000 Fix merged to master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=18caacae069a025662fcdd96b846857fc3107e41
