package.json is included in the build files

See original GitHub issue

I just noticed that your

lib\version.js file is looking for a version from package.json

module.exports = require('../package.json').version;

What this is doing internally, it exports all packege.json file as js module and adds it to the minified/uglified build.

So in my build, I got your whole package.json file with all dependencies and settings for no reason.

I also noticed that error with my build. I get around this by using node.env to pass it in like this:

version: process.env.VERSION

I do not know will this work for you but you will find a solution that fits your need.

Please modify this so your packege.json will not be added to any build that someone will make while using your library.

Regards

@eloc3147 not sure if you’re still having this issue.

I ran into this also, and had to add a clean script in my package.json scripts section

"clean": "rm -rf node_modules/websocket/.git", "heroku-postbuild": "npm run clean && npm install --only=dev --no-shrinkwrap",

Not sure what side effects it will have (none yet). My build is completing successfully now.

This is not a cosmetic change.

I see you’re not getting the problem with it. Some people really care about code size and security issues.

Cosmetic is the solution. But I do not know how to apply it to your code, cause I do not know it as you do.

So I do not understand why did you close this issue ?? It’s not done and it’s not cosmetic.
