unmet peer dependency

[niftylettuce]

shouldn't this be listed as a dependency instead in package.json?

warning " > postcss-cssnext@3.0.2" has unmet peer dependency "caniuse-lite@^1.0.30000697".

[niftylettuce]

can we please make this a version range instead? https://github.com/MoOx/postcss-cssnext/blob/master/package.json#L57

if not, please put it as a dep in package.json

[RyanZim]

@niftylettuce With a ^, it is a version range.

Also, You should be able to get rid of that warning by deleting node_modules and reinstalling. It's already included as a child dependency of autoprefixer IIRC.

[niftylettuce]

it seems odd to not have other deps such as postcss included in peer deps. can we please just drop peer deps completely?

[MoOx]

postcss plugins actually require postcss as a dep to be able to register their plugins. Everything is fine here. The thing is: we rely on a package (caniuse-api) that can work with any caniuse-lite, but we need a specific version to be sure cssnext is working as expected.

[niftylettuce]

Can we please put this in as a core dependency? I'd hate to keep a separate repo maintained because otherwise end-users (using build systems like gulp or grunt) will always get this warning.

I did the classic rm -rf node_modules && rm yarn.lock && yarn and the warning still came up. The only way it went away was using my fork of this repo that has it listed as a dep and not a peer dep. I think this occurs for anyone using a build system like gulp/grunt.

Can anyone else here test and see if they can reproduce? If it's just on my end then of course we can ignore this all completely haha.

This change has been made 6 months ago and we only got one or 2 people opening issues fixed with an uninstall + install, so I guess everything is fine in this code. I won't make add caniuse-lite as a dep as it's not a dep, rather a recommendation for our plugin to work correctly with another given dep.

[niftylettuce]

I just tested on a new fresh repo and can't reproduce it anymore. You're right @MoOx this is just a weird edge case. Probably from working with local npm symlinks! Thanks for patience and helping me out here.

[niftylettuce]

Actually I spoke too soon! This is in fact an issue. I tested the wrong plugin, not this one.

@RyanZim @MoOx here is how to reproduce (I made a test repo for you at https://github.com/niftylettuce/postcss-cssnext-test):

git clone https://github.com/niftylettuce/postcss-cssnext-test.git
cd postcss-cssnext-test
yarn
# or you could do `npm install` if you're not using yarn

Example output of running yarn or npm install

You can see the unmet dependency warning.

Can you please re-open?

[MoOx]

What version of node/yarn are you using? Yarn got a tons of issues with peer deps in the past. Please try with npm.

[niftylettuce]

yarn --version
1.3.2

npm --version
5.6.0

[niftylettuce]

Oh, I don't get this warning on npm install. Though shouldn't we consider that an extremely large percentage of users are using yarn? I just looked around the community and pretty much all the other plugins for postcss aren't using peerdeps.

[niftylettuce]

Thanks again for patience + help here 👍

The problem I see is more here imo https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+Unmet+peer+dependency

documenting. this looks to still be:

https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/4850

with

yarn --version
    1.5.1
yarn info postcss-cssnext | grep version:
    version: '3.1.0',

On any yarn exec

...
warning " > postcss-cssnext@3.1.0" has unmet peer dependency "caniuse-lite@^1.0.30000697".

hails from

yarn info postcss-cssnext | grep caniuse-lite -A1 -B1
    peerDependencies:
     { 'caniuse-lite': '^1.0.30000697' },
    devDependencies:

here

Same here... yarn v1.5.1 and node v9.8.0

rm -rf node_modules && rm yarn.lock && yarn

produce following warning

Also getting the same warning. yarn 1.5.1 and node 8.10.1.
