[jira] [Commented] (CB-9954) Update npm dep to npm@3

["Mikhail Nasyrov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9954?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15747168#comment-15747168 ] 

Mikhail Nasyrov commented on CB-9954:
-------------------------------------

Cordova-fetch proposal is completed (https://github.com/cordova/cordova-discuss/blob/master/proposals/fetching.md, CB-9858, CB-11349).
However `cordova-lib` still has npm@2 as a dependency.

Having a local installed npm@2 while a user expects system npm@3 or npm@4 leads to unexpected behaviours during running npm scripts and installing packages by spawned npm processed because npm@2 install peer dependencies automatically.

It is a critical issue and should be reopened.

> I'm using cordova. My system has NPM@3.3.12  on Node 4.1.2.
> I tried Node 5, NPM 3.3.12, NPM 3.3.6 (was working on 3.3.6 about a month ago). Was working on Node 4.1.1
> Cordova-Lib has NPM@2 as a dependency, which NPM@2 gets installed under my project node_modules folder.
> The NPM team recommends Cordova-Lib updates the dependency to use NPM@3 ASAP. https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10234#issuecomment-153710853
