---------------------------------
Summary: check if npm-link is present when tools are on master
Key: CB-7686
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7686
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Coho, mobile-spec
Reporter: Marcel Kinard
Assignee: Marcel Kinard
Priority: Minor
Per CB-7677, we may be in the habit of not testing the latest cordova-lib when
we are on master. Since by default, plugman and cli will download the latest
release from the npm registry unless we explicitly do an "npm link" on our
workstations, we may be testing the wrong version of lib by default.
So the proposal here is:
(1) add a check to createmobilespec that if all of [js, lib, plugman, cli] are
checked out at master, that our own dependencies be npm-linked to each other
instead of downloaded directly. This check will not happen if any of those
repos are on a branch other than master. And if for some reason you want to
bypass the check even when they all are on master, there is a --skiplink option
in createmobilespec. If this check runs and fails, it will not make any changes
to your workspace, it will simply cause createmobilespec to fail.
(2) since it should be best practice to do an "npm link" of our own
dependencies, this should be a common task. So add the command "npm-link" to
coho to unbuild any directly-installed dependencies of our own, and instead do
an npm-link of them.
