Working on two Node.js packages: ‘zebra-core’ and ‘zebra-helper’. Globally linking zebra-core using npm fails dependency resolution. Example:
cd ~/zebra-core && npm connect
Help?
In my case, I noticed similar issues when trying to use npm for global linking. I eventually resorted to using npm link which seemed to handle dependency resolution more gracefully. It turned out that some underlying configurations or package metadata differences were causing the problem with npm connect. I had to ensure that the package names in package.json matched exactly and the versions of dependent modules were updated. Reviewing these settings and switching to npm link allowed me to proceed with development without further hiccups. It’s definitely something worth exploring in your situation.
In my experience, the issue with global linking often comes down to discrepancies in how local dependencies are resolved versus global ones. I encountered similar challenges when trying to manage interdependent packages. The problem could be related to how npm resolves paths when linking globally, often missing some module details that are automatically handled in a local setup. I adjusted my workflow by configuring explicit paths in my project and verifying the consistency of package definitions. For me, a careful re-examination of package.json and the symlink setup helped overcome the dependency resolution issues.
