I've just got back into node after a few months, and I'm a bit hazy on what I'm doing
I updated npm, node and gulp. My gulp file seems to work, but I just went to install gulp-compile-handlebars but I get the following:
Cooldude-MacBook-Air:_overlay cooldude$ sudo npm install --save-dev gulp-compile-handlebars
Password:
npm WARN package.json path@0.4.9 path is also the name of a node core module.
gulp-compile-handlebars@0.2.0 node_modules/gulp-compile-handlebars
├── through2@0.4.2 (readable-stream@1.0.27-1, xtend@2.1.2)
└── handlebars@2.0.0-alpha.4 (optimist@0.3.7, uglify-js@2.3.6)
Cooldude-MacBook-Air:_overlay cooldude$ ls
gulpfile.js.old node_modules src
I've not seen this before - what should I do to fix this?
This is not due to the gulp-compile-handlebars module since he has (and none of it's dependencies) no call to the path module.
I think that you have directly in the package.json of your project a reference to the path dependency that you need to remove because this is now a core module, so you don't have to put it in the dependencies of your project.
If it's not referenced, it certainly means that one of your dependencies has the path dependency. You can't do anything about that (expect a PR or an issue on the repo if available).
By the way it's just a Warning npm shows you, not an error so don't need to worry about that.
