steps.mkd
  1. Create a folder called npm-test and place package.json in there.
  2. cd npm-test
  3. npm install
  4. ls node_modules. Observe that lodash and rquery folders are there.
  5. Open package.json, change rquery version from ^2.0.8 to ^3.1.1.
  6. run npm install to update packages.
  7. Observe that this line gets printed out after running npm install: [email protected] node_modules/lodash -> node_modules/rquery/node_modules/lodash
  8. ls node_modules. Observe that lodash is no longer there. This makes any code in the project that runs require('lodash') break. (ex: node test.js using the test.js file in this gist)
  9. Run npm install again, look at node_modules and observe that lodash is back there.
