npm >= 5's prune reinstalls ignored node modules

[jean-emmanuel]

Since version 5, npm prune reinstalls all missing dependencies, this breaks electron-packager's --ignore option when --no-prune is not set.

~~I assume you mean when --prune is set, because npm prune isn't run when --no-prune is set.~ Never mind, saying "when --no-prune is not set" confused me, because of double negatives.

Sigh. This is why I'm dropping all support for npm and yarn when pruning.

[jean-emmanuel]

Indeed !

Edit: haha I think I got confused too !

The current workaround is to set --no-package-manager.

Thanks !
