Website bug: Members' Private NPM Install instructions

[Dustyn Eskelson]

When you are on your profile page and try and toggle between NPM/Yarn the instructions change but the code in step 1 doesn't.

Hey Dustyn and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

You're quite correct  That's because they share the first step.

I could have sworn, when I first saw this in my profile they were different.

Probably so! We recently updated the instructions because the old ones had some edge cases where the Yarn instructions weren't working. 

[Dustyn Eskelson]

So I’m noticing an error with yarn and projects where I don’t have gsap importing. It seems it’s looking to your registry in order to retrieve the modules. Specifically browser sync. 

[ZachSaucier]

What error are you facing? Can you please provide some additional information about how to recreate the issue? 

 

Did this issue occur with the old installation instructions?

Do you mean Browsersync?

[Dustyn Eskelson]

This error when I try and run yarn install or yarn add.

 

error An unexpected error occurred: "https://npm.greensock.com/browser-sync: You must be logged in to install/publish packages.".

I have resolved it... seems I may have had some old settings in my global .yarnrc file setting my registry to npm.greensock.com/

I don't know if I have the same issue, but I had created a template (two months ago or so) for myself from which I start new projects. I had followed the Yarn installation guide and everything works great. Now I found that I also version controlled my `yarn.lock` file which keept installing GSAP 3.5.1. In this particular project I've updated GSAP `yarn upgrade gsap` (to 3.6.0), but now I get this error while `import { gsap } from 'gsap';` I've changed nothing else in my project.

Has something changed from 3.5.1 to 3.6.0 with this way of using Yarn and authtokens?

That errors looks like GSAP is not found like it hasn't been installed.

Yes, slightly. Previously users edited the .yarnrc file and .npmrc file. Also the installation command was slightly different. We recommend the new way of doing things as there were certain specific scenarios that didn't work with the old way. Please remove whatever you added to your .yarnrc file related to GSAP, try the new approach, and let us know how it goes.

 

Or use NPM instead of yarn
