Closed this issue · 7 comments

Summary

A mistake was made creating this issue & subsequently led to us issuing a warning that --global was being removed. For context, --global will be changing it's underlying behaivor to map to --location=global which maps with existing --location-aware commands (ie. npm config & in v9 npm exec)

Exit Criteria

  • running npm with --global should not warn users

@wolfpackt99 Downgrade to npm v8.10.0?

darcyclarke commented

@wolfpackt99 we're shipping a patch right now to remove the deprecation warning as we speak. (ref. npm/cli#4984)

Is this fixed for sure in 8.12.1?

-- console output produced during zsh initialization follows --

npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead.

@alexrosenfeld10 Perhaps the npm in your zsh initialization is a different version? Does executing a global command like npm ls -g --depth=0 from your shell prompt print the deprecation warning?

alexrosenfeld10 commented

@mscdex yeah, seems like you're right - the initialization must be using a different version, because after initialization that command runs w/o a warning.
