[Pkg-javascript-devel] NPM: Cannot find module installed globally

2014-09-20 Thread Leo Iannacone 
Hi,

with npm 1.4.21+ds-2 I'm not able to require module installed globally...

See this:

$ sudo npm install -g coffee-script
/usr/local/bin/coffee - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/bin/coffee
/usr/local/bin/cake - /usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/bin/cake
coffee-script@1.8.0 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script
└── mkdirp@0.3.5

$ nodejs -e require('coffee-script');

module.js:340
throw err;
  ^
Error: Cannot find module 'coffee-script'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)

at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
at evalScript (node.js:532:25)

Is this happening only to me?

Leo.

You might consider this a bug - i made this on purpose, so that modules
installed by debian package are the only ones being globally
installed.

Here are the main reasons:

* npm actually discourages npm install -g in favor of
  cd thismodule; npm link
  cd thatmodule; npm link thismodule

* it would allow modules installed by npm to override silently
  modules installed as debian packages.

In any case, such a feature should come as an option,
enabled by installing npm-integration, like rubygems do.

I think npm encourages using `npm install` which would put dependencies in
a local folder called node_modules and would generally discourage use of
`npm link`, unless you are developing a module and using npm link to test
it while you develop it. Even then, most people do not use npm link.
