Automatically install dependents

Open travs opened this issue 11 years ago • 5 comments

I am looking for a way around forcing devs to include apd.install() in their code to install depended-on packages.

Is there any way to perform a function on package install when atom-package-dependencies is included in dependencies of the package?

If you can break your dependency on the atom global, it seems like this could be done via a postinstall script

postinstall script is run in a modified environment, so it's not likely to work as expected...

A "postinstall": "HOME=\"$HOME\"/../.. apm install <dep>" appears to work (in a *nix world at least) - though the CLI tool doesn't appear to inform any running copy of atom, so activating packages is still an issue :(

This is what I'd call "fragile", since it assumes a little too much about environment and running shell. It is bound to break in some cases :disappointed:

Yup!
