npm-list-problems-cli

Introduction

Check if a directory has certain npm dependency errors. These errors can be seen when running the npm list command in a directory. However, it does not seem like there's a way to return a non-zero exit code for a subset of the different error types.

Filtering certain type of errors could lead to the ability to fail builds where certain npm dependency errors indicate that there are inconsistencies between the package.json and package-lock.json files.

Installation

npm install npm-list-problems-cli -g

Usage

npmlistproblems [--types] [--path]

• There are 6 types of errors to filter by:
  1. EXTRANEOUS_DEPENDENCY
  2. MISSING_DEPENDENCY
  3. MISSING_PEER_DEPENDENCY
  4. UNMET_PEER_DEPENDENCY
  5. INVALID_DEPENDENCY
  6. DEPENDENCY_ERROR
• If no error types are specified, all 6 errors are used for filtering
• If no path is specified, the current directory is examined
• If error types are specified, they should be | separated
• If a path is specified, it should be the relative path for another directory
• npmlistproblems --types="EXTRANEOUS_DEPENDENCY|MISSING_DEPENDENCY" --path="../some/other/directory
  • Find all extraneous and missing dependency errors for ../some/other/directory
