 Lily Foster | yarn doesn't do dep trees the same. and npm won't work to build deps without a npm lockfile anyway | 13:37:24 |

yarn doesn't do dep trees the same. and npm won't work to build deps without a npm lockfile anyway yeah I just figured that out :/ | 13:38:27 |

here's the magic for that part: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d120d3076257ce88d0c35e61b729dcb55c88c642/pkgs/build-support/node/build-npm-package/hooks/npm-config-hook.sh#L17-L18 and here's where those two get defined: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d120d3076257ce88d0c35e61b729dcb55c88c642/pkgs/build-support/node/build-npm-package/hooks/default.nix#L17-L18 | 13:38:47 |

| Lily Foster | if you define them similarly it should work | 13:39:03 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | so this?
export NIX_NODEJS_BUILDNPMPACKAGE=1
export npm_config_node_gyp="${nodejs}/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js";
| 13:40:38 |
| Lily Foster | not the buildNpmpackage part | 13:40:51 |
| Lily Foster | probably | 13:40:54 |
| Lily Foster | it's not actually using npm, right? | 13:41:07 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | I hope not | 13:41:22 |
| Lily Foster | and you do need nodedir too | 13:41:31 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | I had another package recently that needed yarn, npm and node | 13:41:34 |

I hope not (that var just activates a sleeper agent we installed in npm to fix some of its broken behavior and inject vars when their fetcher lib re-execs the entirety of npm for git deps........) | 13:42:17 |

(that var just activates a sleeper agent we installed in npm to fix some of its broken behavior and inject vars when their fetcher lib re-execs the entirety of npm for git deps........) (their coherence model for the moving parts of npm is utterly hecked) | 13:42:51 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | TIL about srcOnly | 13:44:27 |

(that var just activates a sleeper agent we installed in npm to fix some of its broken behavior and inject vars when their fetcher lib re-execs the entirety of npm for git deps........) obviously :D | 13:44:47 |

(that var just activates a sleeper agent we installed in npm to fix some of its broken behavior and inject vars when their fetcher lib re-execs the entirety of npm for git deps........) (and it re-execs npm without necessarily even ensuring lockfiles are coherent in the git dep and requiring them since it doesn't lock those needed deps in the original lockfile. and npm loves to silently get spooked, ignore the lockfile, and try to redownload literally everything..........) | 13:45:32 |
| Lily Foster | (oh and don't forget it drops the passed options when it re-execs. i mean come on, who needs those?) | 13:46:18 |
| Lily Foster | (at least they set an env var to ensure they don't accidentally recurisvely re-exec npm with no end, right?) | 13:46:39 |
