Error when running publish

[zachgrayio]

jdeploy install works like a charm, but when I run jdeploy publish I get the following error: npm ERR! f.replace is not a function

Can you post the full error readout? My gut says that it is probably a Node/NPM version error. If you upgrade node and npm to the latest, it should resolve the issue.

Hmm.. When I download NodeJS/NPM from the nodejs website (via Mac installer), I get these versions:

Steves-iMac:~ shannah$ node -v
v6.11.3
Steves-iMac:~ shannah$ npm -v
3.10.10

With those versions it works fine.

I tried upgrading npm via sudo npm install -g npm but that broke everything so NPM no longer worked at all. -- had to reinstall from installer.

WIll try upgrading node via npm first and then upgrading npm.

One thing worth noting is that running jdeploy install && npm publish should be equivalent to running jdeploy publish.

That might work for you. It is also possible that the shelljs dependency needs to be updated to a newer version to work with these newer versions of node/npm. The latest is 0.7.8. Will need to investigate further.

Thanks for looking into.

Tried with v0.7.8 of shelljs, same result.

Ran the following with 0.7.8:

$ jdeploy install && npm publish

Seems I may be having issues with NPM moreso than your library. Will keep looking.

[zachgrayio]

package.json was the culprit:

"files": [
    "jdeploy-bundle",
    {
      "dir": "kalk-1.0.0",
      "includes": "lib/*.jar"
    }
  ]

should have just been

"files": [
    "jdeploy-bundle",
    "kalk-1.0.0"
  ]

I think I found that config in example in the jdeploy docs somewhere, might be worth double checking and updating if needed. Closing out. Great lib btw.
