Could not fetch version info

[francoisph]

Hey,

I'm trying to use your plugin. After a npm install -g npm-add-dependencies I run in my project :
npm-add-dependencies git+https://github.com/arfeo/npm-add-dependencies.git#master --dev

And I've got this :
This script adds dependencies (latest or specified versions) to the package.json file without installing them Adding packages to 'devDependencies'... Could not fetch version info for: git+https://github.com/arfeo/npm-add-dependencies.git#master. Skip. Done.

Any ideas ?
Thanks :)

Hi,

Tried just now:

Need more info to make any decision.

Thanks.

[francoisph]

Thanks for the fast response!
This is what I've got when trying the example in the README :

Any additional info for me to deal with? Have fetched packages been written to the package.json successfully, e.g.? ANY info, pls. So, I could reproduce the error. Thanks.

What is this command's output:

npm show git+https://github.com/arfeo/npm-add-dependencies.git#master versions

?

[francoisph]

When I'm cloning your git and run the command inside your project everything works.

When I run npm show git+https://github.com/arfeo/npm-add-dependencies.git#master versions in my project I have this :

And the log :

[arfeo]

Have fetched packages been written to the package.json successfully? Looks like the error with the package.json in your project's directory. Looks like there's no one. Strange enough, because in this case the script should output this: "Could not parse package.json. Stop." and stop.

[francoisph]

Yes I can fetch all the packages in the package.json.
When I run in my project :
npm install git+https://github.com/arfeo/npm-add-dependencies.git#master --save

My package is correctly updated :
"npm-add-dependencies": "git+https://github.com/arfeo/npm-add-dependencies.git#master",

[arfeo]

No, I meant, have fetched packages been written to the package.json successfully after this:

?

[arfeo]

I think there's no way at the moment to fetch the info of a package with "git+https". I removed this from readme, and I'll think it over some time later. Thanks for this.

[arfeo]

NB: We can not use npm show git+https://github.com/author/repo#branch versions to fetch repo's versions.

[francoisph]

Okay thanks for the information!

Closing the issue, since it most probably wouldn't be fixed.
