It seems that something I've done has updated a lot of package-lock.json - have I done something wrong or is that OK? 😅

[lyallstewart]

I assume it was when I ran npm install setting up my local environment, I've just reset it to what is in the rest of the repo as I assume that's the right one

@lyallstewart you were right that you shouldn't be updating the package-lock.json if you're not changing any dependencies. We've had this problem before and it comes from a difference in Node and NPM versions when running npm install. For now, if you get any changes to package-lock.json without changing any dependencies, just discard those changes until we've figured out a good solution down the road.

You did the right thing by removing the changes, though ideally it would have been better to do that w/no added commits (I can show you how to do that sometime if you're not sure how). It looks like there's still an outstanding change to that file though.

If you can add a blank line at the bottom of the file and push that change up, it should go back to only showing hasTargetUser.js 😄

There we go, I think I've finally managed to get rid of any changes 😀

Thanks! I'll open seperate PRs actually implementing it in batches 🙂

@lyallstewart sorry I didn't get around to reviewing this -- been pretty busy with work this week. Hoping to maybe catch up on some open source this weekend.

If you're looking to implement it in follow-up PRs, please open up issues for those PRs so we can keep track of which commands are being worked on in each one. Thanks!
