npm-force-resolutions fails, breaking npm i

[MadaraUchiha]

Running npx npm-force-resolutions always fails, whether it's in dev dependencies or not, whether I have resolutions or not, whether I have dependencies at all or not.

OS: Mac Node version: 12.13.1

Example package.json (default npm init + preinstall script):

{
  "name": "npm-force-resolution-bug",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

npm i output:

~/projects/npm-force-resolution-bug $ npm i

> npm-force-resolution-bug@1.0.0 preinstall /Users/madara/projects/npm-force-resolution-bug
> npx npm-force-resolutions

Installing npm-force-resolutions@0.0.3 as a devDependency makes it all work again.

[rogeriochaves]

that should have been fixed in 0.0.5 (check #22), weird that you are still getting it. Can you try to run npx npm-force-resolutions@0.0.5 just to make sure?

[MadaraUchiha]

I am getting that version 0.0.5 does not exist. Although that one might be attributed to my org's artifactory/mirror.

[MadaraUchiha]

I've confirmed that setting the registry back to the public npm one resolves this issue. I'll hash this out with our org's artifactory keepers.

Cheers!

[jurgensweere]

If I use 0.0.5, I still get the same issue:

Error: Timeout trying to fetch resolutions from npm

If I force it to use 0.0.3, it works fine

[MadaraUchiha]

@jurgensweere That appears to be a different issue, probably best to open a new one :)

[rogeriochaves]

@jurgensweere this is probably related to 0.0.5 not handling private registries properly, 0.0.6 should have that fixed, please follow on #26
