NPM git dependency's not installing

[corbinu]

Not sure if this is an NPM issue, but after installing the io.js nightly I am unable to install git dependancies. If this is an NPM issue I can log it there.

I was previously using
NPM 2.2.0
Node 0.12

On OS X 10.10

For example using this package.json

{
    "dependencies": {
        "async": "git+ssh://[email protected]:caolan/async.git#master"
    }
}

gives this error

It looks like the url parsing is a little off.

With node v0.10.35, the url.parse returns something like:

{ protocol: 'ssh:',
  slashes: true,
  auth: 'git',
  host: 'github.com',
  port: null,
  hostname: 'github.com',
  hash: null,
  search: '',
  query: {},
  pathname: '/<user>/<repo>',
  path: '/:<user>/<repo>',
  href: 'ssh://[email protected]/:<user>/<repo>' }

but with the latest nightly:

{ protocol: 'ssh:',
  slashes: true,
  auth: 'git',
  host: 'github.com:<user>',
  port: null,
  hostname: 'github.com:<user>',
  hash: null,
  search: '',
  query: {},
  pathname: '/<repo>',
  path: '/<repo>',
  href: 'ssh://[email protected]:<user>/<repo>' }

Looks like it may have been introduced in c90eac7

@evanlucas if you're sure that's the commit could you cc the author into this thread?

I tried rolling back that commit and building but still have the same issue

[evanlucas]

ah, sorry, looks like 6120472 was the original

[evanlucas]

After looking further into it, it looks like d312b6d#diff-bbc5176adff1bbc01acd61bfc85d049fR407 made a change that will also prevent npm from installing git dependencies as prior to that commit, pathname was not being set to this.path

[bnoordhuis]

#299 has landed but npm install "git+ssh://[email protected]:caolan/async.git#master" still doesn't work because of d312b6d. I'm going to prepare a revert of that commit. Anyone who knows of a better solution, please speak up now.

[bnoordhuis]

This should be fixed by commits a1e54d6 and 913addb. Thanks for the bug report, @corbinu, and thanks @evanlucas for helping out.

[corbinu]

Thanks so much guys. Working for me. Will keep testing. Can't wait for the release

i've ever meet this issue
