mkdirp: 0.5.5

[msbit]

Update mkdirp to 0.5.5 which in turn updates minimist to 1.2.5
which addresses:

@msbit - gratzi!

Why are you only bumping-up the package-lock.json? As package.json still depends on mkdirp 0.5.1, when we get node-portfinder as a dependency, we still get an old version of minimalist.

Would you mind if I did a PR for that?

The dependency is currently ^0.5.1, and that version has a vulnerability problem, so I don't see why we shouldn't bump it up to ^0.5.5. If not, why it is at ^0.5.1 and not ^0.5.0?

BTW, I came here with this request because in several of my projects using es-dev-server, I got a badd minimist version, and npm ls minimist told me the source was the mkdirp version we had here...

Looking at the package-lock.json, mkdirp is resolved to 0.5.1 and not 0.5.5 as I should have expected...

      "version": "0.5.1",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/mkdirp/-/mkdirp-0.5.1.tgz",

      "dev": true,
      "requires": {
        "minimist": "0.0.8"
      },
      "dependencies": {
        "minimist": {
          "version": "0.0.8",

          "integrity": "sha1-hX/Kv8M5fSYluCKCYuhqp6ARsF0=",
          "dev": true
        }
      }
    },
...

Looking at the package-lock.json, mkdirp is resolved to 0.5.1 and not 0.5.5 as I should have expected...

I would have expect that too, given the rules for version strings with carets.

From a blank slate:

$ mkdir node-portfinder-mkdirp-test
$ pushd node-portfinder-mkdirp-test
$ npm init -y
$ npm add es-dev-server
$ npm ls mkdirp
node-portfinder-mkdirp-test@1.0.0 /Users/tom/Development/third-party/node-portfinder-mkdirp-test
└─┬ es-dev-server@1.56.1
  └─┬ portfinder@1.0.27
    └── mkdirp@0.5.5

Could it be that you had mkdirp already installed before updating portfinder?

Anyhow, looks like you've got a PR there to get the package.json bumped too, which should address your issue.

[LostInBrittany]

I don't understand why, I simply did a npm update on two projects using es-dev-server and es-dev-server itself got updated to 1.56.1, portfinder to 1.0.27 but mkdirp got stuck on 0.5.1.

As I got that twice, I suppose that other people could have the same problem, sur bumping-up package.json seemed the safe thing to do. But I am still a bit puzzled about why...

FYI - thanks for discussing this
