Bin permissions

[igbopie]

Hi!

I have a dependency with an executable file (like this one). I get a permissions error when I run it. I manually run chmod +x and everything goes fine. Maybe you can include that in the process.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean, how do you add the package in to the project, using yalc link? Which complete command do you run to modify permissions?

[igbopie]

So, on the dependency I run yalc publish. The on the host: yalc update, but after that, I have to run chmod +x ./node_modules/.bin/[MYBINFILE], to make it work.

Initially yalc add.

Ah I see, that because yalc update replaces the content in node_modules/package, hm maybe there could be added for example postupdate script that would be run on yalc update in the projects folder, what do you think?

Btw not sure why you modify /node_modules/.bin/[MYBINFILE] yalc should not touch files in /node_modules/.bin/. Hm.

I think /node_modules/.bin/XXX is a symbolic link to /node_modules/YOUR_PACKAGE/SOME_FILE_YOU_SPECIFY_ON_PACKAGE_JSON.

Yes, I think postupdate sounds fine! 👍

I guess yalc will need to check package.json for this (for example):

"bin": {
  "github-pages-commit": "bin/commit.js",
  "github-pages-push": "bin/push.js",
  "github-pages-deploy": "bin/deploy.js"
}

then perform postupdate task to chmod +x the bin files specified.

Ok, I get you will check ASAP.

I am having this issue also - I don't want to have to manually chmod my bin folder every time I yalc push!

[wclr]

There was handing of postupdate added, it will run in the host package directory while yalc updates package that has postupdate in scripts.

Once #61 is merged, the link and add commands will support the bin field in package.json of yalc'd packages, which means the node_modules/.bin directory will be updated as expected. 😄

Any updates on this?
