TL;DR

  1. yarn why contextify
  2. Remove/Update the result dependency from step 1. by modify package.json.
  3. npm install

Full scenario

Today I encounter an error when npm install, the error look like this : 

1
2
3
4
error M:\Github\asing1001.github.io\node_modules\contextify: Command failed.
...
...
..\src\contextify.cc(150): error C2039: 'SetAccessCheckCallbacks': is not a member of 'v8::ObjectTemplate'

This is caused by the package contextify too old, to find out which package dependent on contextify, I use yarn why contextify in command prompt :

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
M:\Github\asing1001.github.io> yarn why contextify
yarn why v0.22.0
[1/4] Why do we have the module "contextify"...?
[2/4] Initialising dependency graph...
[3/4] Finding dependency...
[4/4] Calculating file sizes...
info This module exists because "hexo-migrator-blogger#to-markdown#jsdom" depends on it.
Done in 2.30s.

Obviously it is refenrence by dependency hexo-migrator-blogger, I update package.json to remove this package and npm install again, it is fixed :)

Recently my co-worker recommends a great VS extension NPM task runner. Instead of running NPM task via a separate terminal, it will discover NPM task via package.json and run them inside Visual Studio by a double-click.

Install via Tools > Extensions and Updates > Online > Search NPM task runner

Task Runner Explorer locate in View > Other Windows > Task Runner Explorer
Run task by double-click tasks in sidebar, close it by x button

If your task fails, it probably references to wrong NPM or Node.js, to fix it change the order in Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > External Web Tools. I lift-up ${PATH} to the second one.

For security reason, private CI server may not have internet access. Instead, it connect to private registry like ProGet. To install public npm package, ProGet connector is here to help, steps as following :

  1. Go to Connectors => create connectors => Feed type:npm => Save
  2. Go to feeds => Create New Feed => Feed type:npm => Feed name:npm
  3. Feed Connectors => add connector => registry.npmjs.org
  4. Set up npm via command line in server
    npm config set registry http://{progethost}/npm/npm

Now try npm install, it should work as it connect to public npm registry.
