npm package peer-id 0.12.3 incompatible with other 0.12.x

[npfoss]

I just tried to update the ipfs npm package, and it bumped my version of peer-id from 0.12.2 to 0.12.3 (because many things in the ipfs tree rely on ~0.12.x or ^0.12.x), but then I started getting this error upon building with browserify:

Cannot find module 'babelify' from '/path/to/my/app/node_modules/ipfs/node_modules/peer-id/node_modules/async'

Could you please remove version 0.12.3 or replace it with something compatible with all the other packages asking for ~0.12.0?

Update:

Steps to reproduce the error:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "browserify index.js -o app.js -d"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "browserify": "^16.3.0",
    "ipfs": "^0.36.4"
  }
}

index.js

require('ipfs');

run

npm install
npm run build

@jacobheun It looks like you have the power to fix this, could you please take a look?

This looks like it might be an issue with v3 of async https://github.com/caolan/async/issues/1653#issuecomment-509751609

[npfoss]

It totally was. Thank you! Sorry for the misdiagnosis @ peer-id team

[jacobheun]

I think I am going to go ahead and cut a new patch release to roll back to async 2.6. Since we're migrating to await we wont be using the package much longer and right now it's just going to add some bloat to the bundle size. I am just doing some local testing and then will look to release the patch in the 0.12 line.

@jacobheun multistream-select is also using async@3

[jacobheun]

@alanshaw yeah, noticed that last night when I was testing, I will roll the version back there as well.

Just closing the loop here, both peer-id (12.x) and multistream-select have had their async deps reverted
