Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-3380:
-------------------------------------
I agree [~nsuke] we should keep package.json within the root folder and proceed
towards the proposal you made. There are many users using npm+git.
> nodejs: 0.9.2 -> 0.9.3 upgrade breaks Protocol and Transport requires
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-3380
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3380
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Node.js - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: Matt Willer
> Priority: Critical
> Original Estimate: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 10m
>
> Node.js projects that depend on Thrift and need to use a specific transport
> or protocol must require them in separately, like this:
> {code}
> var thrift = require('thrift'),
> ThriftTransports = require('thrift/lib/thrift/transport');
> {code}
> The new version (0.9.3) changed that directory structure of the thrift module
> so that the transport file is now located at
> thrift/lib/nodejs/lib/thrift/transport.js, which breaks any application that
> was requiring it at the old path. This type of breaking change is
> inappropriate for a patch version, and should be fixed immediately.
> The directory structure change also has the undesirable side effect of
> including every single language implementation of thrift in the Node.js
> module, bloating the size of the module with unnecessary files.
> Long-term, the right fix for this is to export useful parts of the library
> (e.g. transport and protocol constructors) from the main file, but since this
> is a patch version the immediate fix should be to maintain existing behavior.
