Having trouble skipping install when composing this with another generator

[tony-luisi]

Hello,

I'm attempting to create a custom generator and compose this generator as part of it. I'm keen to skip the install as my preference is to get the user to do it manually at the end. I've tried the following:

  this.composeWith(
    {
      Generator: SingleSpaGenerator,
      path: "generator-single-spa/src/generator-single-spa.js",
    },
    {
      dir: this.destinationRoot(),
      framework: "react",
      packageManager: "npm",
      typescript: true,
      orgName: "org-name",
      projectName: projectName,
      arguments: ["--skipInstall", "--skip-install"], // this does not work
      skipInstall: true, // neither does this
    }
  );

Happy to dig around the source code, but wonder if i'm doing something wrong in the first instance.

Looking at yeoman's composeWith signature, I wonder if you're actually needing to pass those in as a third parameter (options) instead, since this generator doesn't really make use of args.

this.composeWith(
  {
    Generator: SingleSpaGenerator,
    path: "generator-single-spa/src/generator-single-spa.js",
  },
  {}, // args
  {
    dir: this.destinationRoot(),
    framework: "react",
    packageManager: "npm",
    typescript: true,
    orgName: "org-name",
    projectName: projectName,
    skipInstall: true,
  }
);
