Update package.json to point to modern version of soap library #7

Open JavaScriptDude opened 9 years ago

JavaScriptDude commented 9 years ago

When I installed node-vsphere-soap today, it installed soap version 0.6.1 even though the latest version is 0.9.3. I have no idea why npm did not pick up a later version but it did not. soap 0.6.1 is not usable in modern node (v0.12+) due to a fixed bug.

Is it possible to point your package.json to a higher version so this issue is prevented?

JavaScriptDude commented 9 years ago

Also, when using npm, it installs v0.0.2 instead of v0.0.2-5 as is in Github? Is NPM fully updated? Maybe this is the root cause.

reedog117 commented 9 years ago

I can't update soap to 0.9.x since it introduces a bug that breaks node-vsphere-soap. If you could find a soap version between the two that works in v0.12+, but doesn't break the module, that would be greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, you can try to get the soap devs to fix their code so that it passes the test I added via pull request. See vpulim/node-soap#670 and vpulim/node-soap#668

I saw your node-soap bugs last night. Any chance that you can push your current code that uses node-soap 0.8.x to NPM? It seems to work ok for me.

That's weird -- when I do an npm info node-vsphere-soap it looks like it's already there...

Very weird. Let me kick the box a bit more...

Check this out:

nvm use node Now using node v4.0.0 npm install node-vsphere-soap node-vsphere-soap@0.0.2 node_modules/node-vsphere-soap ├── soap-cookie@0.10.1 ├── lodash@3.10.1 └── soap@0.6.1 (sax@1.1.3, lodash@2.4.2, strip-bom@0.3.1, request@2.62.0) ~

When I run npm info node-vsphere-soap, I get the same output as you.

Any idea why npm is doing this? Could this be something to do with the order of versions in 'versions' property?

That's a good question -- gimme some time to look into it. I haven't tried running this stuff on node v4.0.0 at all -- I wonder if one of its dependencies is doing something to bring the versions of everything else back a bit?

JavaScriptDude commented 9 years ago

I think you are onto something...

I downgraded to 0.12.7 and problem was still there but when I downgraded to 0.10.38, the correct soap version was picked up:

nvm use 0.10.38 Now using node v0.10.38 npm install node-vsphere-soap --save npm WARN engine cryptiles@2.0.5: wanted: {"node":">=0.10.40"} (current: {"node":"0.10.38","npm":"1.4.28"}) npm WARN engine hoek@2.16.3: wanted: {"node":">=0.10.40"} (current: {"node":"0.10.38","npm":"1.4.28"}) npm WARN engine boom@2.9.0: wanted: {"node":">=0.10.40"} (current: {"node":"0.10.38","npm":"1.4.28"}) node-vsphere-soap@0.0.2-5 node_modules/node-vsphere-soap ├── soap-cookie@0.10.1 ├── lodash@3.10.1 └── soap@0.8.0 (sax@1.1.3, lodash@2.4.2, strip-bom@0.3.1, request@2.63.0) ~

I wonder where the gate is that decides to use an older version of soap for newer versions of Node.

I haven't had time to research it further, but it seems the behavior changes even between minor releases within v0.12

Interesting. I suspect its something related to the soap library configuration. Hopefully I get a chance to look at this deeper in the next couple of days.

I wonder if NPM has a version debug utility to see what is driving the version selection rules down the depends stack...
