[FEATURE] npx should show execution path (in --verbose mode) #4005

Open mdtrooper opened 2 years ago

mdtrooper commented 2 years ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

This issue exists in the latest npm version

Current Behavior

When you type a but sometimes you bad type (press other key or don't remember exact command) and there is a command with the bad name npx <other command>. it is runs but you don't know how command runs.

For example: npx tsc

But you type bad:

npx tsm

And maybe (in my case yes) you don't know what is tsm.

Expected Behavior

Maybe with --verbose npx could shows the execution path of binary or script called.

You type and the output could be something as:

$ npx --verbose tsc
[LOG] Level verbose
[LOG] Execute ./node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc
[LOG] Other useful things....
[LOG]....

Steps To Reproduce

Environment

npx supports a loglevel flag, which can be set to one of: silent, error, warn, notice, http, timing, info, verbose or silly.

EDIT: sorry the old message was on old npm version I use nvm. But with the latest verion v16.13.0 is:

And the log does not show the execution path.

Thanks @mbtts-elsevier , I have changed the title for other more exact.

I found a trick with GNU/Linux to get the path, it is with strace and some greps:

But it is good thing showing the path with --verbose mode.

jtakalai commented 2 years ago

+1 to this; I'd like to know where npx gets the binary it runs. Global installations (I don't want that)? Root node_modules? Subpackage node_modules? Path resolution is already complex enough that we need an npm which

lf94 commented 1 month ago

+1 please do this. It's a matter of understanding and security.
