Although I have said I do not think Meteor should run
npm install
automatically to update applicationnode_modules
, my real concern is that Meteor should not interfere with your preferrednode_modules
-related workflow, be itnpm
,npm-shinkwrap.json
,shrinkpack
,yarn
+yarn.lock
, checking yournode_modules
into git/mercurial/cvs, or whatever other scheme you currently have (or might adopt in the future).Automatically installing
node_modules
from the defaultpackage.json
file when a new app is created will eliminate real confusion, and should not interfere with any workflows, because there is no opportunity to establish another workflow before Meteor runsnpm install
the very first time.Addresses #6848.
May make #8095 unnecessary?
