Dev dependencies installed during production install

First off, awesome project! 👍

When running npm install fake-indexeddb the dev dependencies of the project are also installed like browserify and phantomjs. Running ls node_modules/fake-indexeddb/node_modules confirms this.

Looking at the package.json this shouldn't be happening so I'm somewhat confused. This may be due to the use of shrinkwrapping which appears to include the dev dependencies alongside the production ones.

Thanks :)

That's default npm behavior http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9268259/how-do-you-prevent-install-of-devdependencies-npm-modules-for-node-js-package

I agree, running npm install should install both dev and production dependencies, and this is expected behavior. But npm install fake-indexeddb should not install dev dependencies.

Can you confirm?

Edit: Also, thanks for quick reply! :)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17544051/how-to-shrinkwrap-devdependencies-but-not-install-them-unless-necessary explains it. I hadn't noticed this behavior before.

Unfortunately the workaround doesn't apply if fake-indexeddb is included in a project's dependency tree. Anyways, I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Happy coding!

On the plus side, I released v1.0.9 yesterday without the shrinkwrap file, so that should fix your problem :)

Oh, I didn't realize. Awesome 👍
