Node v19.3.0 (Current)

Notable Changes

Updated npm to 9.2.0

Based on the list of guidelines we’ve established on integrating

and

,
here is a grouped list of the breaking changes with the reasoning as to why they
fit within the guidelines linked above. Note that all the breaking changes were
made in 9.0.0.
All subsequent minor and patch releases after

npm@9.0.0

do not contain any
breaking changes.

Engines

Explanation: the node engines supported by

1
npm@9

make it safe to allow

1
npm@9

as the default in any LTS version of

1
14

or

1
16

, as well as anything later than or including

1
18.0.0

1
npm

is now compatible with the following semver range for node:

1
^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0

Filesystem

Explanation: when run as root previous versions of npm attempted to manage file ownership automatically on the user’s behalf. this behavior was problematic in many cases and has been removed in favor of allowing users to manage their own filesystem permissions

1
npm

will no longer attempt to modify ownership of files it creates.

Auth

Explanation: any errors thrown from users having unsupported auth configurations will show

1
npm config fix

in the remediation instructions, which will allow the user to automatically have their auth config fixed.

The presence of auth related settings that are not scoped to a specific
registry found in a config file is no longer supported and will throw errors.

Login

Explanation: the default

1
auth-type

has changed and users can opt back into the old behavior with

1
npm config set auth-type=legacy

.

1
login

and

1
adduser

have also been seperated making each command more closely match it’s name instead of being aliases for each other.

Legacy auth types
1
sso

,

1
saml

&

1
legacy

have been consolidated into

1
"legacy"

.
1
auth-type

defaults to

1
"web"
1
login

and

1
adduser

are now separate commands that send different data to the registry.
1
auth-type

config values

1
web

and

1
legacy

only try their respective methods,
npm no longer tries them all and waits to see which one doesn’t fail.

Tarball Packing

Explanation: previously using multiple ignore/allow lists when packing was an undefined behavior, and now the order of operations is strictly defined when packing a tarball making it easier to follow and should only affect users relying on the previously undefined behavior.

1
npm pack

now follows a strict order of operations when applying ignore rules.
If a

1
files

array is present in the

1
package.json

, then rules in

1
.gitignore

and

1
.npmignore

files from the root will be ignored.

Display/Debug/Timing Info

Explanation: these changes center around the display of information to the terminal including timing and debug log info. We do not anticipate these changes breaking any existing workflows.

Links generated from git urls will now use
1
HEAD

instead of

1
master

as the default ref.
1
timing

has been removed as a value for

1
--loglevel

.
1
--timing

will show timing information regardless of

1
--loglevel

, except when

1
--silent

.
When run with the
1
--timing

flag,

1
npm

now writes timing data to a file
alongside the debug log data, respecting the

1
logs-dir

option and falling
back to

1
<CACHE>/_logs/

dir, instead of directly inside the cache directory.
The timing file data is no longer newline delimited JSON, and instead each run
will create a uniquely named

1
<ID>-timing.json

file, with the

1
<ID>

portion
being the same as the debug log.
1
npm

now outputs some json errors on stdout. Previously

1
npm

would output
all json formatted errors on stderr, making it difficult to parse as the
stderr stream usually has logs already written to it.

Config/Command Deprecations or Removals

Explanation:

1
install-links

is the only config or command in the list that has an effect on package installs. We fixed a number of issues that came up during prereleases with this change. It will also only be applied to new package trees created without a package-lock.json file. Any install with an existing lock file will not be changed.

Deprecate boolean install flags in favor of
1
--install-strategy

.
1
npm config set

will no longer accept deprecated or invalid config options.
1
install-links

config defaults to

1
"true"

.
1
node-version

config has been removed.
1
npm-version

config has been removed.
1
npm access

subcommands have been renamed.
1
npm birthday

has been removed.
1
npm set-script

has been removed.
1
npm bin

has been removed (use

1
npx

or

1
npm exec

to execute binaries).
