How well does scripty work with preinstall scripts?

[greduan]

Just that, my coworker is working on some complex scripts that work during preinstall, how well would scripty do there?

I imagine it has to be installed as a global in that case?

I haven't considered or tested this tbh so I have no idea

Sorry for the terse reply last night. I probably should have followed up with "could you describe for me how you'd like it to behave"?

That's alright, I was just busy.

The thing is our project has some preinstall scripts that check that the environment is properly setup, but of course you can't use scripty in the local folder if npm install hasn't run before.

I was just wondering what could be a workaround for this, that's all. Obviously have the setup script outside of npm is one option, but that doesn't make it so that when you do npm install it runs it before installing anything.

Closing for now because I don't think it's vitally important we answer this. If you do some work on it or have a clear proposal of what we should do (which doesn't involve asking folks to install globally), then I'm game to hear it.

Gotcha. If I come up with anything I'll let you know. :)
