Several versions missing polyfills/__dist

[jamesarosen]

What

Versions 3.25.1, 3.27.4, and 3.28.1 (and possibly others) have internal dependencies on polyfills/__dist/, but that folder doesn't exist. Is it possible they were published without running a necessary build step?

Details

$ curl -O https://registry.npmjs.org/polyfill-library/-/polyfill-library-3.25.1.tgz
$ tar -ztvf polyfill-library-3.25.1.tgz | grep __dist || echo "not found"
not found
$ tar -xzvf polyfill-library-3.25.1.tgz | grep __dist || echo "not found"
$ node
> require('.')
No polyfill sources found.  Run `npm run build` to build them

$ curl -O https://registry.npmjs.org/polyfill-library/-/polyfill-library-3.27.4.tgz
$ tar -ztvf polyfill-library-3.27.4.tgz | grep __dist "not found"
not found

$ curl -O https://registry.npmjs.org/polyfill-library/-/polyfill-library-3.28.1.tgz
$ tar -ztvf polyfill-library-3.28.1.tgz | grep __dist "not found"
not found

Now that I look at the package, I see that __dist isn't supposed to be included. It's supposed to get created as part of postinstall. That step must be failing for me. I'll try to find out why.

Possibly helpful:

$ npm install
…
npm WARN lifecycle polyfill-library@3.25.1~postinstall: cannot run in wd polyfill-library@3.25.1 npm run build (wd=/polyfill/node_modules/polyfill-library-3.25.1)
npm WARN lifecycle polyfill-library@3.27.4~postinstall: cannot run in wd polyfill-library@3.27.4 npm run build (wd=/polyfill/node_modules/polyfill-library-3.27.4)
npm WARN lifecycle polyfill-library@3.28.1~postinstall: cannot run in wd polyfill-library@3.28.1 npm run build (wd=/polyfill/node_modules/polyfill-library-3.28.1)
npm WARN lifecycle polyfill-service@4.28.1~prepare: cannot run in wd polyfill-service@4.28.1 npm run snyk-protect (wd=/polyfill)

I believe wd is wd. Installing that seems to have fixed the issue.

I misread the error. It's not trying to run wd. It's telling me that's the working directory. This was a permissions problem.
