Scenario

I have a configured nexus repository working as npm registry with redeploy enabled. I know that enable redeploy is a bad practice, but we are in stabilization stage.

Problem

When I try to install my private module into local nodejs project, I always get the previous version:

npm install acme-module --save

Validations

  • I deleted the folder in nexus repository and perform a new npm publish without any errors.
  • I can see the new folder, with correct .tgz and if I download it (right click and save) I can see my latest version of source code, which is good.
  • I tried to uninstall all npm modules, but always the previous version is downloaded.

Possible cause

If I disconnect from the internet, npm install is still working without any error. So I guess, my npm private module acme-module, is cached in some folder, and this prevent the download of latest version.

Question

Why npm install works without internet connection and how force the download of exact versions, located in my nexus registry instead local modules.

  • Did you delete your local machines npm cache? Mine is located at $HOME/.npm. Or is your question how to bypass that local cache? – joedragons Oct 04 '19 at 22:02
  • I will try with $HOME/.npm. I tried uninstalling nodejs and works but was just a test. Yes, it will be great to bypass the local cache justo for development purposes like -snapshot sufixes in maven + java – JRichardsz Oct 04 '19 at 22:16
  • Unfortunately I don't know how to bypass the local cache (if possible), I just delete mine if I am experiecing any concerns I think may be cache related to be sure. – joedragons Oct 13 '19 at 21:58
