Error building an npm package: npmignore: not found

Error building an npm package: npmignore: not found

[Michael Opdenacker]

Greetings,

I'm testing the Yocto Project Documentation for creating NPM packages 
(https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#creating-node-package-manager-npm-packages).

I managed to create a recipe for cute-files 1.0.2 using devtool, but I 
can't manage to build the recipe. Here's what I get:

/home/mike/work/yocto/poky/build/workspace/sources/cute-files/node_modules/get-intrinsic 
--ignore-scripts=true failed with exit code 127, output:

 > get-intrinsic@1.1.2 prepack
 > npmignore --auto --commentLines=autogenerated

sh: 1: npmignore: not found

I do have the "nodejs" package in my image though.

The recipe and full log files are available in 
https://bootlin.com/~mike/pub/yocto-project/npm-2022-06-21/.

Would anyone have a clue, before I file a bug?

Thanks in advance,
Michael.

npm is broken since kirkstone; see
https://patchwork.yoctoproject.org/project/oe-core/list/?series=4303 for
patches.

Thanks for the reminder, we should probably test and merge these. I was
hoping we'd get some review from someone else but it seems not many
people are using those code paths :/.

Cheers,

Richard

Yessss, the changes now in Poky's master branch allowed me to build my 
recipe and all issues are gone.
What the documentation describes still works.
Many thanks
Michael.
