[BUG] npx package@version uses incorrect installed version in npx 7 #3210

robertIsaac · 2021-05-07T18:51:17Z

Current Behavior:

running npx @package@version generate it with the current install version

Expected Behavior:

it should be generated with the given version

Steps To Reproduce:

ex. steps to reproduce the behavior:

run npm i -g npm@latest to install npm 7
run npx @angular/cli@next new
answer all questions of the angular cli, it doesn't matter what the answers are
it will install angular 11 (while next is 12)

Environment:

OS: Windows 10
Node: 14.16.1
npm: 7.12.0 (working fine with 6.14.13)

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

wraithgar · 2021-05-12T17:13:37Z

I can not duplicate this. When I run those commands my project has angular 12

~/D/n/a/asdf (master|✔) $ npm ls
[email protected] /Users/wraithgar/Development/npm/ar/asdf
├── @angular-devkit/[email protected]
├── @angular/[email protected]
├── @angular/[email protected]

I even tried it while having @angular/cli@11 installed globally, my project still got 12.

robertIsaac · 2021-05-13T23:01:46Z

i tried again now, it's the same
i'm using windows 10

@rfgamaral Thanks for the additional report. I believe this is the same issue and I'm going to update the title of this issue to track it as such.

Den-dp · 2021-10-22T23:54:47Z

Looks like a globally installed package breaks calling via npx, since it has a higher priority.

Simple reproduction for [email protected]

check that svgo isn't installed globally:

> npm ls svgo -g
C:\Users\denis\AppData\Roaming\npm
`-- (empty)

run --version command of old svgo

> npx [email protected] --version
2.5.0

globally install newer svgo

> npm i [email protected] -g

added 18 packages, and audited 19 packages in 3s

8 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

found 0 vulnerabilities

here is where it stopped working

> npx [email protected] --version
2.7.0

janpio · 2022-04-06T17:46:01Z

Note that this does not only apply to globally installed packages, but also local ones:

Reproduction commands:

mkdir npxRepro
cd npxRepro
npm init -y
npm install prisma
npx prisma -v
npx [email protected] -v
npx -v
node -v

And my result with npx 8.3.1:

PS C:\Users\Jan\Documents\throwaway> mkdir npxRepro
PS C:\Users\Jan\Documents\throwaway> cd .\npxRepro\
PS C:\Users\Jan\Documents\throwaway\npxRepro> npm init -y

Note how the second -v of prisma with the explicit version 3.11.1 asks me if I want to install [email protected], actually does it, and then runs 3.12.0 anyway.

There is no global prisma installed btw:

A comment on the severity of this:
We have pipelines that depend on this behavior to use a specific version (vs. what is defined in the project). Upgrading to newer npm/npx partially broke these and made tests fail (good), others silently used the wrong version and produced unexpected and wrong results which unfortunately were not caught by tests (not good at all).

lukekarrys · 2022-04-06T20:18:22Z

Thanks for the detailed reproduction and re-surfacing this issue @janpio. I've updgraded the severity of this and our team is currently working through all the Priority 1 bugs, so we can get some resolution to this.

AndrewCEmil · 2022-05-03T13:56:18Z

Hi, just wanting to provide a bug report that I am also running into this. Interestingly I see things like the following:

$npx serverless@3 deploy

Need to install the following packages:
serverless@3
Ok to proceed? (y) y
...

$npx serverless@3 --version
Framework Core: 2.72.2 (local)
Plugin: 5.5.4
SDK: 4.3.0
Components: 3.18.2

So it seems to install the right package somewhere, but doesn't use it when running commands.

wraithgar · 2022-06-28T18:30:34Z

Possibly closed by #4929.

@lukekarrys will investigate and respond accordingly.

robertIsaac · 2022-06-28T19:02:38Z

I confirm it's working now
tested using npm 8.13.1

Slightly different on Linux, but still broken:

/home/node/project/node_modules/.bin/svgo
/home/node/.npm/_npx/ef55ecbce75e2283/node_modules/.bin/svgo
/usr/local/bin/svgo

npx is still incorrectly preferring the project’s installed version over the explicit version on the command line. Please reopen.

robertIsaac · 2022-06-29T20:38:19Z

I will reopen as per @Khyalis and @andersk comments
but for me it's working

is by any chance you are using nvm?
I had this issue because of them, I had to delete everything and install them again for it to work
the issue was that there were a lot of version of npx, npm, and ng (for me ng was the biggest problem)
you can check by using where npx it should show only one location inside nvm
I think the root cause of my issue was that I initially installed node using standalone setup but then decided to use nvm without uninstalling the standalone version (I mean after upgrading to version 8.13.1, because when I opened the ticket I wasn't using nvm)

ljharb · 2022-06-29T21:00:01Z

@robertIsaac nvm, or nvm-windows (a different project)?

andersk · 2022-06-29T21:10:55Z

@robertIsaac I did not use nvm. Here’s a fully reproducible test case as a Dockerfile using the official Node Docker image.

@robertIsaac nvm, or nvm-windows (a different project)?

nvm, I have a mac

ljharb · 2022-06-29T22:37:47Z

@robertIsaac ah, gotcha, you mean that your system node was conflicting (also, what's where? do you mean which?)

robertIsaac · 2022-06-30T05:50:50Z

@robertIsaac ah, gotcha, you mean that your system node was conflicting (also, what's where? do you mean which?)

Where tells you the exact location of a file
So where npx should tell you exactly where is the npx file in your disk
But even better, if multiple npx files existing it will show all of them (I mean only the ones that's part of your environment)

Which return only one path

ljharb · 2022-06-30T05:52:37Z

where isn't available on my mac; perhaps it's something you added yourself?

andersk · 2022-06-30T06:36:43Z

where is a zsh builtin (or a Windows command). zsh is the default shell on modern Mac, but you might be using bash or some other shell that does not have where. In any case, you can also use which -a to print all matches.

ljharb · 2022-06-30T06:40:12Z

ah, fair enough, yes, i'm using bash.

robertIsaac · 2022-06-30T11:26:58Z

ah, fair enough, yes, i'm using bash.

so what's the output of which -a npx?

ljharb · 2022-06-30T14:32:05Z

I use nvm and don’t have a system version, so it only prints out a single line.

This seems to have regressed for me:

$ npx [email protected] --version
2.2.1

$ npm -v
8.19.2

Jolg42 · 2023-09-05T09:46:21Z

@samboylett It looks like you are using an old npm version here (v8)

I just tried on Node v20.6.0 (npm v9.8.1)

npx [email protected] --version
Need to install the following packages:
[email protected]
Ok to proceed? (y)

And it works as expected.

samboylett · 2023-09-05T10:15:05Z

@Jolg42

actually looks like some weird data issue on my end:

$ npx [email protected] --version

$ npx [email protected] --version
Need to install the following packages:
  [email protected]
Ok to proceed? (y)
