I just started working with vscode and npm/git. Someone on my team added a package and I did a pull to get his latest changes which put that package in my package.json file. When I ran the project I got errors for a module not being found. Obviously I need to install that package locally. Do I simply use npm install w/no arguments to get it? Or do I install it manually myself with npm install and version info? I ask because I don't know if npm install w/no args will create a new package.json or cause any issues.
What is the correct way to get a new package installed that someone added in the repo?
npm install can be run as many times as you like, and is what you should be doing here :)
npm install's purpose is to get your node_modules folder up-to-date with whatever is written in package.json
So, if your colleague has changed package.json (by installing something new and pushing the change to git), you can just run the command again to get up-to-date.
Provided you haven't directly fiddled with any files in node_modules (this folder should be left alone), it is always safe to run npm install as many times as you like, even if nothing has changed.

I was working with brownie and everything was working smoothly, launched my first useDapp app and it was a lot of fun. I wanted to see what truffle was about and installed it via npm and there were a bunch of warnings and it didn't seem smooth when it came to functionality so I might have installed it via yarn, expecting the package installer to fix things. It worked for a while then it started to timeout upon migration with tested code that used to launch perfectly fine? I thought it might of been a bug or some form of overlapping installation. I moved on to hardhat and installed it via NPM and it wouldn't compile, so I installed it via Yarn and it compiled fine. I went on to creating a new file and accidentally hit Esc when it was initializing a new file and setting the root. Somewhere in between there I tried to install the shorthand and it didn't work. It only opened a Windows help window instead of call hardhat when I typed hh --help. After that I couldn't call hardhat via yarn hardhat nor npx hardhat outside of the file....the file that previously wouldn't compile was still able to compile via npx hardhat compile?
It sometimes says "module not found", other times it says something about local installation.
I kind of got frustrated and wanted to play with react a little more and when I went to start yarn I got an error message. I followed the prompt and it didn't work, I googled it and had no luck with their common resolutions. I tried to upgrade eslint and even install 7.11.0 and it keeps saying I have version 5.16.0?.
EDIT: not sure if it is relevant, I tried to update my yarn to 1.22.17 and it said it did, although it says im running 1.22.15.

node = v12.13.0
npm =6.12.0
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:
"eslint": "^7.11.0"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of eslint was detected higher up in the tree:
C:\Users\Nancy\node_modules\eslint (version: 5.16.0)
Manually installing incompatible versions is known to cause hard-to-debug issues.
If you would prefer to ignore this check, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project.
That will permanently disable this message but you might encounter other issues.
To fix the dependency tree, try following the steps below in the exact order:
1. Delete package-lock.json (not package.json!) and/or yarn.lock in your project folder.
2. Delete node_modules in your project folder.
3. Remove "eslint" from dependencies and/or devDependencies in the package.json file in your project folder.
4. Run npm install or yarn, depending on the package manager you use.
In most cases, this should be enough to fix the problem.
If this has not helped, there are a few other things you can try:
5. If you used npm, install yarn (http://yarnpkg.com/) and repeat the above steps with it instead.
This may help because npm has known issues with package hoisting which may get resolved in future versions.
6. Check if C:\Users\Nancy\node_modules\eslint is outside your project directory.
For example, you might have accidentally installed something in your home folder.
7. Try running npm ls eslint in your project folder.
This will tell you which other package (apart from the expected react-scripts) installed eslint.
If nothing else helps, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project.
That would permanently disable this preflight check in case you want to proceed anyway.
P.S. We know this message is long but please read the steps above :-) We hope you find them helpful!
error Command failed with exit code 1.
Kind of embarrassing, the answer was in the error message.
6. Check if C:\Users\Nancy\node_modules\eslint is outside your project directory.
For example, you might have accidentally installed something in your home folder.
Hardhat set root in the wrong directory and I ended up with a node_module folder in a parent directory that was messing things up
Reinstalled truffle globally via yarn add global truffle and it ran smoothly. Evidently, truffle acts up with certain NPM versions.
Hardhat doesn't seem to support global installations yet. Its been working fine being locally installed into each separate hardhat project via yarn add -D hardhat
I haven't been able to get the shorthand to work without invoking yarn first, such as yarn hh <command>
I'm working on an NPM package right now.
The main code for the package (repo/src/maincode.js) has a few dev dependencies and a few dependencies needed to run it. When the user installs the npm package (through npm i) these dependencies will need be installed.
Now, that being said, I also want to create a react project that showcases this npm package, and have it live in the same repo, in an examples directory (repo/examples/react/app.js). This react app may have its own dependencies and dev dependencies, but I really don't want all of these to be forced onto the user when they're installing my npm package just to use in their projects.
How might I go about solving this problem? Is there a way to create a set of dependencies that are only installed if you are running a particular script, or running example code ?
You can give the examples directory its own package.json file and instruct folks who want to run the examples to cd into the examples directory and run npm i there. Any code in the examples directory that imports a module will look in its own node_modules before checking the node_modules in the parent directory.
The MarkoJS examples repository takes this approach and even makes it more granular. Instead of having a single package.json for the examples directory, there is a package.json for each separate example.
If you want, you can create a helper script in the main package.json for the user so they can do something like npm run build-examples and it will do the npm install for them as part of the process.
Quite new to react, and can not find an answer to the simplest of tasks. Just trying to clone a repo to my computer and run it. For example https://github.com/arnab-datta/counter-app .
I do npm install and npm start. But when I do npm start I seem to have dependency errors with a "babel-loader". It gives me the below list of steps to solve the problem, I went through them all and still no success. No matter what project I try to repo the error is always this babel-loader. I am new to react and getting very frustrated being unable to do the simplest of things.
There might be a problem with the project dependency tree. It is
likely not a bug in Create React App, but something you need to fix
locally.
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a
dependency:
"babel-loader": "8.0.5"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it
automatically. However, a different version of babel-loader was
detected higher up in the tree:
/Users/xxx/node_modules/babel-loader (version: 8.0.6)
Manually installing incompatible versions is known to cause
hard-to-debug issues.
If you would prefer to ignore this check, add
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project. That will
permanently disable this message but you might encounter other issues.
To fix the dependency tree, try following the steps below in the exact
order:
Delete package-lock.json (not package.json!) and/or yarn.lock in your project folder.
Delete node_modules in your project folder.
Remove "babel-loader" from dependencies and/or devDependencies in the package.json file in your project folder.
Run npm install or yarn, depending on the package manager you use.
In most cases, this should be enough to fix the problem. If this has

Check if /Users/tylervanzo/node_modules/babel-loader is outside your project directory.
For example, you might have accidentally installed something in your home folder.
Try running npm ls babel-loader in your project folder.
This will tell you which other package (apart from the expected react-scripts) installed babel-loader.
If nothing else helps, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file
in your project. That would permanently disable this preflight check
in case you want to proceed anyway.
I was running my project finely, but I merge my code with other which contain a package called react-modal, after that my code doesn't work. I revert that code from my project, but it doesn't work, I can't even run my project. "cannot read properties of undefined" error is occuring. I upgrade all my packages like webpack, webpack cli etc, but it doesn't helps. What I need to do to run my project?
Well you can do two things here.
First to revert your code back to your latest code before merge.
Run the below command to delete Node_modules npm prune --production
and then run npm install and then build your project.
I am trying to update a specific npm package - "react-beautiful-dnd" although I don't think there is a problem with it. When I run "npm -v react-beautiful-dnd" in my project's directory, I can see that it's "6.4.1". I inherited the project, so the version is probably the latest stable one at the time. I wanted to update it to the newest one - 10.0.0, so the first thing I did was changing the version in package.json to the desired and then running npm install (without --save, wisely or not).
Everything went through fine, but I when I run "npm -v ..." it still shows the same version. From what I know, the stable version of the package is much higher than 6.4.1, so I don't have a clue what's up with that. When I run npm list -g and try to find the package through cmd + f, I don't even have it on the list, so it's likely not a problem with that.
Any ideas?
Updating local packages
Navigate to the root directory of your project and ensure it contains a package.json file:
cd /path/to/project
In your project root directory, run the [update][npm-update] command:
npm update
To test the update, run the [outdated][npm-outdated] command. There should not be any output.
npm outdated
