NPM warning on install #103

Closed maxbeizer closed 9 years ago

maxbeizer commented 9 years ago

npm WARN peerDependencies The peer dependency yo@>=1.1.2 included from generator-playbook will no npm WARN peerDependencies longer be automatically installed to fulfill the peerDependency npm WARN peerDependencies in npm 3+. Your application will need to depend on it explicitly.

or without the warning output:

The peer dependency yo@>=1.1.2 included from generator-playbook will no longer be automatically installed to fulfill the peerDependency in npm 3+. Your application will need to depend on it explicitly.

@dcalhoun should we add yo as an explicit dependency? GP version 2.0.1

dcalhoun commented 9 years ago

npm@3 is fundamentally changing how the peerDependencies attribute functions. My understanding is that yo should remain as a peer dependency, but the responsibility of managing that dependency has shifted to the consumer of the package (i.e. – you).

From what I understand, this change is an attempt to reduce the likelihood of what npm describes as "dependency hell," where different packages require conflicting versions of a dependency.

We could move yo to a explicitly dependency, but I'm not sure it's necessary. If someone has information/opinion that states otherwise, I'm definitely open to hearing it.

@dcalhoun :cool: . Just thought I'd mention it as I spun up a new PB site yesterday for the first time in a while. :beers:
