npm install convict ignores registry settings

[sebradloff]

We are trying to install convict in a proxy environment.
We have our .npmrc has registry settings like so:
registry = "http://artifactory/" @npm:registry = "http://artifactory/"

For some reason the following packages are not being resolved through artifactory but are trying to resolve to the npmjs.org.

We have in fact confirmed that these logs do come from installing convict specifically by logging into our environment servers and running npm install convict, while other packages resolve through artifactory.

Is there a strange postinstall step that convict is trying to do or a way to force convict to resolve those dependencies from artifactory?

Hello @sebradloff . Tanks for your interest in Convict. The package.json file doesn't reference any registry, but the npm-shrinkwrap.json file does! Check its content. If you can find a way to generate an npm-shrinkwrap.json file compatible with any registry/proxy please let us know!

[sebradloff]

Thanks @madarche for the response! We might end up looking into cloning down convict and editing the shrinkwrapped registry. By any chance do you know if convict can be used client side, using webpack and not gulp && browserify?

@sebradloff it used to work, but it never has been a goal for Convict, see #47
