Error ... Cannot find package 'visitor-as'

[mattjohnsonpint]

Steps to reproduce:

• In a new empty directory, create a new AssemblyScript project .
• Run npm run asbuild - it should compile without error
• Run npm install json-as
• Modify asconfig.json to add "transform": ["json-as/transform"] to the existing options section
• Run npm run asbuild again - it fails with:

FAILURE Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'visitor-as' imported from /<projectdir>/node_modules/json-as/transform/lib/index.js

Tried manually installing with npm install visitor-as --save-dev, but that gives:

It does work if I use --force, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Not sure if this is a problem with as-json, or with visitor-as, or both.

Thanks.
