Support for local dependencies

Hi! I just come to a project that uses local dependencies: "e2-scripts-utils": "file:../../lib/utils", when running next-update, it fails with the following error:

Problem checking NPM dependency e2-scripts-utils version file:../../lib/utils
Invalid comparator: file:../../lib/utils

Looks like it does not support local dependencies, is there a way to ignore them or something?

Thanks!

Hmm, it should probably skip file:... dependencies.

Can you provide more details? I tested this in test/test-file-deps against latest version and it seems to skip these by default

The project works, but next-update tries to install it again (run npm i), at some point it returns this error:

cannot find file /Users/montogeek/project/node_modules/e2-scripts-utils/package.json
ERROR: cannot find module e2-scripts-utils
