Unable to use webhint with edge connector (package is not avaialable in npm)

[IllusionMH]

Full output log can be found in relevant section.

TL;DR: Webhint tries to install missing package for edge connector from npm using @hint/connector-edge@latest (name created here) and fails with 404 error.

As I can see - there were no (public) release of such package: @hint/connector-edge (opens NPM login page)

Other connectors can be found in npm with new namespase: @hint/connector-chrome and @hint/connector-jsdom

And I can find connector-edge package in old namespace @sonarwhal/connector-edge

Other question: Is it possible that there are more packages that were not released (to public) with new namespace @hint ?
UPD: Looks like connector-edge is the only package that was released in @sonarwhal namespace, but wasn't in @hint namespace.

[IllusionMH]

Looks like @hint/connector-edge was never released publicly. It is still private and there are nothing similar to these commits for chome and jsdom connectors.

Are there any blockers that prevents connector-edge release?

[molant]

We need to test it and see if there are any changes with he latest version of Edge

@sarvaje is currently busy with other things for the next few days and he's the one that knows best 😩

[molant]

We will update connector-edge once the required domains are implemented in its debugging protocol. Closing for now.
