Description
This command runs an npm install followed immediately by an npm test. It takes exactly the
same arguments as npm install.
Configuration
<!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS START --> <!-- automatically generated, do not edit
manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
save
• Default: true
• Type: Boolean
Save installed packages to a package.json file as dependencies.
When used with the npm rm command, removes the dependency from package.json. <!--
automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js
-->
save-exact
• Default: false
• Type: Boolean
Dependencies saved to package.json will be configured with an exact version rather than
using npm's default semver range operator. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit
manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
global
• Default: false
• Type: Boolean
Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the prefix folder instead
of the current working directory. See npm help folders for more on the differences in
behavior.
• packages are installed into the {prefix}/lib/node_modules folder, instead of the current
working directory.
• bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin
• man pages are linked to {prefix}/share/man
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see
lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
global-style
• Default: false
• 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 obviously will eliminate some deduping. If used with legacy-bundling,
legacy-bundling will be preferred. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually -->
<!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
legacy-bundling
• Default: false
• 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. <!-- automatically generated, do
not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
strict-peer-deps
• Default: false
• 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 dependency 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. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see
lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
package-lock
• Default: true
• 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 extraneous modules will also
be disabled. To remove extraneous modules with package-locks disabled use npm prune. <!--
automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js
-->
omit
• Default: 'dev' if the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to 'production', otherwise
empty.
• 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 package-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 environment variable will be
set to 'production' for all lifecycle scripts. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit
manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
ignore-scripts
• Default: false
• 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. <!-- automatically
generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
audit
• Default: true
• 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. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!--
see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
bin-links
• Default: true
• 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 ostensibly Unix systems. <!-- automatically
generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
fund
• Default: true
• 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. <!--
automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js
-->
dry-run
• Default: false
• 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.
<!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see
lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
workspace
• Default:
• 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:
• Workspace names
• Path to a workspace directory
• 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. <!-- automatically
generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
workspaces
• Default: null
• 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:
• 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. <!-- automatically
generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
include-workspace-root
• Default: false
• 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. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see
lib/utils/config/definitions.js -->
