 hexa | asking for a project that doesn't grok the difference between dependencies and devDependencies | 12:43:06 |

can fetchNpmDeps install dev dependencies? If the correct hash is specified yes | 13:18:35 |
| hexa | nvm | 13:18:50 |
| hexa | the nodejs stuff is entirely dev deps after all | 13:19:01 |
| hexa | they were telling me they build their css with sass and stuff | 13:19:13 |
| hexa | and then npm only contains linters | 13:19:19 |

| pxc | I've been trying to fix the build of bitwarden-cli on aarch64-darwin. It's built with buildNpmPackage. The issue is in one of the transitive dependencies which builds a C++ executable via node-gyp, and that fails during the patchPhase.
I've been able to get builds of the same package (on a newer version) to build as part of Nixpkgs' nodePackages (though I'm not sure it's correct). What's the right way to tackle this from here?
If I switch to building it via node2nix, can I override recursive dependencies as well as top-level ones?

| pxc | Last night I started trying to move bitwarden-cli (back?) into nodePackages, but it doesn't seem right. I think I might have to also add @microsoft/signalr, which depends on this broken package with native deps (utf-8-validate) and add an override for it to point it at the fixed utf-8-validate package?
But I'm not sure if I'm headed down the wrong path with that effort.

can you share any more context about what's failing? you are probably just missing some dep the C++ plugin requires | 19:58:43 |
