Fails to execute when using a custom npm prefix

jzelinskie commented 3 years ago

My .npmrc uses a custom prefix to install binaries into $XDG_DATA_HOME:

prefix=${XDG_DATA_HOME}/node

This breaks docker-langserver because it's using a relative import to execute the server:

cat $XDG_DATA_HOME/node/bin/docker-langserver

   1   │ #!/usr/bin/env node
   2   │ /* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   6   │ require("../lib/server");

@jzelinskie Thank you for your bug report. I'll do some searching to see what the right solution is here.

@jzelinskie I looked at both Mocha and TypeScript and they both seem to do the same thing here.

Do you have an example of an open source project that works for your setup?

It was forever ago that I reported this and I can't seem to reproduce this on my new laptop.

$ cat .npmrc
prefix=${XDG_DATA_HOME}/node
$ echo $XDG_DATA_HOME
/Users/jzelinskie/.local/share
$ which docker-langserver
/Users/jzelinskie/.local/share/node/bin/docker-langserver
$ docker-langserver --stdio
^C
