Gulp-nuget depends on a deleted NPM package

[alistairmgreen]

The shrink wrap file for gulp-nuget specifies a dependency on [email protected].

That particular version has just disappeared from npm, so it is no longer possible to run npm install on any project that uses gulp-nuget. Consequently, my build which was working fine yesterday is now broken.

This can be fixed by upgrading to [email protected] which is still valid.

this is also breaking our ci builds....

Same problem here although oddly, 2.2.0 seems to have been unpublished in March, 2016 according to the following issue in ansi-styles - chalk/ansi-styles#15

I was just going to create a new question as i was not sure why my build starting failing all of a sudden. could you please fix it? angular cli is using gulp-nuget

[alistairmgreen]

To get my build working again, I simply uninstalled gulp-nuget then copied and pasted the relevant bits of its source code into my gulpfile. (I only needed the restore command, which is a small subset of what gulp-nuget does.)

Creating this npm-shrinkwrap.json worked for me
{ "dependencies":{ "gulp-nuget":{ "version":"1.0.3", "from":"[email protected]", "dependencies":{ "gulp-util":{ "version":"3.0.8", "from":"[email protected]", "dependencies":{ "chalk":{ "from":"[email protected]", "version":"1.1.3", "dependencies":{ "ansi-styles":{ "version":"2.2.1", "from":"[email protected]" } } } } } } } } }

I started using yarn https://yarnpkg.com instead of npm to restore the dependencies, this seems to work for now....

@aromine could you please explain a bit how to use npm-shrinkwrap.json file?
