danmakenoise / link-status Goto Github PK

I know that the project is quite old but as I did need to debug existing links I decided to give it a go. Locally it works exactly as advertised but when running the same command under gihub actions (ubuntu), the script did not display anything than a long list of newlines. See https://github.com/ansible/ansible-language-server/runs/4078323194?check_suite_focus=true

Interestingly it did not return an error exist code, but the output was of no use either.

After some extra searching online I was able to find a workaround that does not need any extra tools, documenting it here in case someone would find it useful:

npm ls --link=true --depth=0 

Would be nice to have Windows support. Finding linked packages on Windows is particularly hard because all of the Stack Overflow answers are in Linux (using linux tools that don't exist on Windows). It appears this package does too. 😢

         NO LINKS FOUND

In particular, find isn't available. Would be nice if this package just used JavaScript/node so it was cross-platform rather than using CLI tools on the host.

We added some new features to the CLI, and the README is now out of date.

Currently when running the -s flag, sym links are shown, but they are really just the nvm shims for the links. It would be nice to follow the symlink through to give an actual directory.

Example:
../../../.nvm/versions/node/v6.9.1/lib/node_modules/semistandard

Versus:
/Users/me/dev/semistandard
