Describe the bug
I have my own unpublished npm module on my filesystem that I have npm install -g
. Making a gist after this has been installed and then trying to do an initial sync fails, and no npm packages at all are installed from the gist:
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/replace-slack-text - Not found
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 '[email protected]' is not in the npm registry.
npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it (or use the name yourself!)
...
$ npm list -g --depth=0

A couple of other reasons users may have packages not in npm: they might have npm link
ed them, they might use a private repo in addition to npm...
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- make a global package that isn't on npm (eg:
npm install -g
some trivial thing with a package.json) - follow your quickstart instructions to step 3
- get the above error, note that no packages from the gist have been installed at this point
Expected behavior
If we can't locate a package on npm, we should continue to print the error, but also try to install all other packages
