Patch a package.json file?

selfagency commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to fix a broken dependency in a node module within my project by altering the dependency version in the module's package.json but the diff doesn't seem to recognize it. Is there a config flag I need or something?

I think this issue is duplicated. Maybe this response could help https://github.com/ds300/patch-package/issues/49#issuecomment-646581987

This works for me

npx patch-package some-package --exclude 'nothing'

--exclude 'nothing'

It works like charm! Excellent~

This might technically "work" but if what you're trying to patch is a dependency that should be a devDependency then it won't have any effect
