npm-install-test (1)

Name

npm-install-test - Install package(s) and run tests Synopsis npm install-test [<@scope>/]<pkg> npm install-test [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<tag> npm install-test [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<version> npm install-test [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<version range> npm install-test <alias>@npm:<name> npm install-test <folder> npm install-test <tarball file> npm install-test <tarball url> npm install-test <git:// url> npm install-test <github username>/<github project> alias: it Description This command runs an npm install followed immediately by an npm test. It takes exactly the same arguments as npm install. Configuration save o Default: true unless when using npm update where it defaults to false o Type: Boolean Save installed packages to a package.json file as dependencies. When used with the npm rm command, removes the dependency from pack- age.json. Will also prevent writing to package-lock.json if set to false. save-exact o Default: false o Type: Boolean Dependencies saved to package.json will be configured with an exact version rather than using npm's default semver range operator. global o Default: false o Type: Boolean Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the pre- fix folder instead of the current working directory. See npm help fold- ers for more on the differences in behavior. o packages are installed into the {prefix}/lib/node_modules folder, instead of the current working directory. o bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin o man pages are linked to {prefix}/share/man global-style o Default: false o Type: Boolean Causes npm to install the package into your local node_modules folder with the same layout it uses with the global node_modules folder. Only your direct dependencies will show in node_modules and everything they depend on will be flattened in their node_modules folders. This obvi- ously will eliminate some deduping. If used with legacy-bundling, legacy-bundling will be preferred. legacy-bundling o Default: false o Type: Boolean Causes npm to install the package such that versions of npm prior to 1.4, such as the one included with node 0.8, can install the package. This eliminates all automatic deduping. If used with global-style this option will be preferred. omit o Default: 'dev' if the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to 'pro- duction', otherwise empty. o Type: "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times) Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk. Note that these dependencies are still resolved and added to the pack- age-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json file. They are just not physically installed on disk. If a package type appears in both the --include and --omit lists, then it will be included. If the resulting omit list includes 'dev', then the NODE_ENV environ- ment variable will be set to 'production' for all lifecycle scripts. strict-peer-deps o Default: false o Type: Boolean If set to true, and --legacy-peer-deps is not set, then any conflicting peerDependencies will be treated as an install failure, even if npm could reasonably guess the appropriate resolution based on non-peer dependency relationships. By default, conflicting peerDependencies deep in the dependency graph will be resolved using the nearest non-peer dependency specification, even if doing so will result in some packages receiving a peer depen- dency outside the range set in their package's peerDependencies object. When such and override is performed, a warning is printed, explaining the conflict and the packages involved. If --strict-peer-deps is set, then this warning is treated as a failure. package-lock o Default: true o Type: Boolean If set to false, then ignore package-lock.json files when installing. This will also prevent writing package-lock.json if save is true. When package package-locks are disabled, automatic pruning of extrane- ous modules will also be disabled. To remove extraneous modules with package-locks disabled use npm prune. This configuration does not affect npm ci. foreground-scripts o Default: false o Type: Boolean Run all build scripts (ie, preinstall, install, and postinstall) scripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing stan- dard input, output, and error with the main npm process. Note that this will generally make installs run slower, and be much noisier, but can be useful for debugging. ignore-scripts o Default: false o Type: Boolean If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files. Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run-script will still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts. audit o Default: true o Type: Boolean When "true" submit audit reports alongside the current npm command to the default registry and all registries configured for scopes. See the documentation for npm help audit for details on what is submitted. bin-links o Default: true o Type: Boolean Tells npm to create symlinks (or .cmd shims on Windows) for package executables. Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on osten- sibly Unix systems. fund o Default: true o Type: Boolean When "true" displays the message at the end of each npm install acknowledging the number of dependencies looking for funding. See npm help npm fund for details. dry-run o Default: false o Type: Boolean Indicates that you don't want npm to make any changes and that it should only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any of the commands that modify your local installation, eg, install, update, dedupe, uninstall, as well as pack and publish. Note: This is NOT honored by other network related commands, eg dist-tags, owner, etc. workspace o Default: o Type: String (can be set multiple times) Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by this configuration option. Valid values for the workspace config are either: o Workspace names o Path to a workspace directory o Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all workspaces within that folder) When set for the npm init command, this may be set to the folder of a workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a brand new workspace within the project. This value is not exported to the environment for child processes. workspaces o Default: null o Type: null or Boolean Set to true to run the command in the context of all configured workspaces. Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like install to ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly: o Commands that operate on the node_modules tree (install, update, etc.) will link workspaces into the node_modules folder. - Commands that do other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project, unless one or more workspaces are specified in the workspace config. This value is not exported to the environment for child processes. include-workspace-root o Default: false o Type: Boolean Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command. When false, specifying individual workspaces via the workspace config, or all workspaces via the workspaces flag, will cause npm to operate only on the specified workspaces, and not on the root project. This value is not exported to the environment for child processes. install-links o Default: false o Type: Boolean When set file: protocol dependencies that exist outside of the project root will be packed and installed as regular dependencies instead of creating a symlink. This option has no effect on workspaces. See Also o npm help install o npm help install-ci-test o npm help test

   Description
       This  command  runs an npm install followed immediately by an npm test.
       It takes exactly the same arguments as npm install.

   Configuration
   save
       o Default: true unless when using npm update where it defaults to false

       o Type: Boolean


       Save installed packages to a package.json file as dependencies.

       When used with the npm rm command, removes the  dependency  from  pack-
       age.json.

       Will also prevent writing to package-lock.json if set to false.

   save-exact
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       Dependencies  saved  to  package.json  will be configured with an exact
       version rather than using npm's default semver range operator.

   global
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the pre-
       fix folder instead of the current working directory. See npm help fold-
       ers for more on the differences in behavior.

       o packages are installed  into  the  {prefix}/lib/node_modules  folder,
         instead of the current working directory.

       o bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin

       o man pages are linked to {prefix}/share/man


   global-style
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       Causes  npm  to install the package into your local node_modules folder
       with the same layout it uses with the global node_modules folder.  Only
       your  direct dependencies will show in node_modules and everything they
       depend on will be flattened in their node_modules folders.  This  obvi-
       ously  will  eliminate  some  deduping.  If  used with legacy-bundling,
       legacy-bundling will be preferred.

   legacy-bundling
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       Causes npm to install the package such that versions of  npm  prior  to
       1.4,  such  as the one included with node 0.8, can install the package.
       This eliminates all automatic deduping. If used with global-style  this
       option will be preferred.

   omit
       o Default:  'dev'  if the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to 'pro-
         duction', otherwise empty.

       o Type: "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)


       Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk.

       Note that these dependencies are still resolved and added to the  pack-
       age-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json file. They are just not physically
       installed on disk.

       If a package type appears in both the --include and --omit lists,  then
       it will be included.

       If  the  resulting omit list includes 'dev', then the NODE_ENV environ-
       ment variable will be set to 'production' for all lifecycle scripts.

   strict-peer-deps
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       If set to true, and --legacy-peer-deps is not set, then any conflicting
       peerDependencies  will  be  treated  as an install failure, even if npm
       could reasonably guess the appropriate  resolution  based  on  non-peer
       dependency relationships.

       By  default,  conflicting peerDependencies deep in the dependency graph
       will be resolved using the nearest non-peer  dependency  specification,
       even  if  doing so will result in some packages receiving a peer depen-
       dency outside the range set in their package's peerDependencies object.

       When such and override is performed, a warning is  printed,  explaining
       the  conflict  and the packages involved. If --strict-peer-deps is set,
       then this warning is treated as a failure.

   package-lock
       o Default: true

       o Type: Boolean


       If set to false, then ignore package-lock.json files  when  installing.
       This will also prevent writing package-lock.json if save is true.

       When  package package-locks are disabled, automatic pruning of extrane-
       ous modules will also be disabled. To remove  extraneous  modules  with
       package-locks disabled use npm prune.

       This configuration does not affect npm ci.

   foreground-scripts
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       Run  all  build  scripts  (ie,  preinstall,  install,  and postinstall)
       scripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing stan-
       dard input, output, and error with the main npm process.

       Note  that  this  will  generally make installs run slower, and be much
       noisier, but can be useful for debugging.

   ignore-scripts
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

       Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such
       as  npm start, npm stop, npm restart, npm test, and npm run-script will
       still run their intended script if ignore-scripts is set, but they will
       not run any pre- or post-scripts.

   audit
       o Default: true

       o Type: Boolean


       When  "true"  submit audit reports alongside the current npm command to
       the default registry and all registries configured for scopes. See  the
       documentation for npm help audit for details on what is submitted.

   bin-links
       o Default: true

       o Type: Boolean


       Tells  npm  to  create  symlinks (or .cmd shims on Windows) for package
       executables.

       Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used  to  work  around
       the  fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on osten-
       sibly Unix systems.

   fund
       o Default: true

       o Type: Boolean


       When "true" displays the  message  at  the  end  of  each  npm  install
       acknowledging  the  number of dependencies looking for funding. See npm
       help npm fund for details.

   dry-run
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       Indicates that you don't want npm to  make  any  changes  and  that  it
       should only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any
       of the commands that  modify  your  local  installation,  eg,  install,
       update, dedupe, uninstall, as well as pack and publish.

       Note:  This  is  NOT  honored  by  other  network  related commands, eg
       dist-tags, owner, etc.

   workspace
       o Default:

       o Type: String (can be set multiple times)


       Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of
       the  current  project  while  filtering  by running only the workspaces
       defined by this configuration option.

       Valid values for the workspace config are either:

       o Workspace names

       o Path to a workspace directory

       o Path to a parent workspace directory (will result  in  selecting  all
         workspaces within that folder)


       When  set  for the npm init command, this may be set to the folder of a
       workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it  up
       as a brand new workspace within the project.

       This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

   workspaces
       o Default: null

       o Type: null or Boolean


       Set  to  true  to  run  the  command  in  the context of all configured
       workspaces.

       Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands  like  install  to
       ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:

       o Commands  that  operate  on  the  node_modules tree (install, update,
         etc.)  will link workspaces into the node_modules folder. -  Commands
         that  do other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the
         root project, unless one or more  workspaces  are  specified  in  the
         workspace config.


       This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

   include-workspace-root
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.

       When  false, specifying individual workspaces via the workspace config,
       or all workspaces via the workspaces flag, will cause  npm  to  operate
       only on the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.

       This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.

   install-links
       o Default: false

       o Type: Boolean


       When  set file: protocol dependencies that exist outside of the project
       root will be packed and installed as regular  dependencies  instead  of
       creating a symlink. This option has no effect on workspaces.
