npm@3 shrinkwrap --dev error

[Joseph7451797]

I have read this #196, and still have a question.

I use npm@3 and encountered an error while using npm shrinkwrap --dev. Here is my output of npm ls:

npm ERR! peer dep missing: browserify@>= 2.3.0 < 14, required by browserify-shim@3.8.12

I know in npm@3, npm doesn't install peerdependencies, but npm shrinkwrap do read peerdependencies setting and return error. Here is my question: is it possible to add 'browserify' to 'dependencies'?

[bendrucker]

Browserify is not a dependency. It's a peer dependency. Browserify calls browserify-shim, not the other way around. Why don't you have it installed?

[Joseph7451797]

@bendrucker, I appreciate your reply.

In my case, I use videojs-contrib-hls@3.6.10 as a dependency, and videojs-contrib-hls@3.6.10 uses mux.js, and mux.js uses browserify-shim@3.8.12. Actually I didn't add browserify and browserify-shim to my project package.json because I dont't need them.

It seems that mux.js should add 'browserify' to its 'dependencies'.(Well, I am not pretty sure...)

I am not familiar with browserify and browserify-shim, this time I'll manually add 'browserify' to my project package.json to solve this problem.

[bendrucker]

Sounds like mux.js expects to be built with browserify. Either way you can add browserify to your dependencies.
