✍️ #TIL | Avoid NPX install prompt

Using npx (Node Package Runner) in a GitHub Action can be difficult, because for security reasons the command requires to type YES at a prompt if the package is not present in the local project dependencies. This can be suppressed by providing --yes in version 7. But there is a workaround for v6 and above, by passing yes via environment variable: npm_config_yes=true npx ...

I seriously cannot understand why `npx pkg` is not interpreted as `npx pkg@latest`. That is literally my entire reason for running it.

Would love if fellow playwrights checked out my NPX page. I need help with my play "Bloodied Hands." Will read something in exchange for feedback! #NPX #playwright #play https://newplayexchange.org/users/4399/jessie-salsbury

@vincegatton hi, Vince! I've seen you on #NPX and am looking forward to reading your work! Great to have other npx-ers on here

If you’re a #Director, #LiteraryManager, #Teacher, #Actor, or fellow #Playwright and have an #NPX New Play Exchange account, you can find my scripts here: https://newplayexchange.org/users/3190/vince-gatton

Oh, and: I was on #Jeopardy once. And “Encore!” on #DisneyPlus .

OK. End of intro thread. Hi. Let’s see how this goes…

Are any other #writers or #theatre people on #NewPlayExchange #NPX ?

How would y'all feel about an #npx-based deploy tool? Something where you do `npm publish`, with your minified, built artifacts, etc, and then just do `npx something @mycompany/myapp start`? So you deploy that way instead of using git clone?

Installing npm@5 in a node:6 docker image:

npm install --global npx
npx npm@5 install --global npm@5

#npm #npx

(I'm updating our CI tasks to take advantage of some new npm features, but had to get npm up-to-date first.)
