[question] Dangling package-lock.json in the root source directory?

[kinow]

Hi,

Part of openjournals/joss-reviews#5135, I checked out the code, and noticed a package-lock.json in the source directory. I think that file is normally generated from a package.json, and, normally, is stored in the same directory as that file.

Is there a reason for having that file in the root source directory, instead of, having that only in the frontend directory?

Cheers,
-Bruno

Hi,

The package-lock.json file in source directory was serving no purpose. I have removed it. Now only the functional the package-lock.json in the frontend directory remains.

Thanks for letting us know,
Jarl
