Install ladon offline

[cpu82]

Hi Daniel,

Currently we have a kernel bug on FreeBSD [0] which avoids to install properly all ports which depend on npm.

Is there anyway to install ladon and all its dependencies offline? I mean fetch all dependencies included in package.json (something like offline-npm). .. Carlos J

Trying to pack ladon to install it later offline (using offline-npm utility)

% npm pack

> ./offline/offline-npm --prepublish ; node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha -R spec test.js

I noticed that if I remove mocha dependency from package.json it packages fine.

Could you take a look?

@cpu82 you should be able to do an installation of Ladon, then zip up the entire folder (including node_modules and all). Then deploy that to another machine. I've never used any offline npm stuff, so I'm not sure I can provide any help there.

Hi @danielgtaylor,

It seems that mocha is excluded, but adding it to dependencies then it works

The following patch fixes my problem. npm shrinkwrap doesn't exclude mocha if it's included in dependencies list.
