List of TLDs doesn't seem to be updating globally

[critsmet]

If I understand correctly, simply running the command npm install --save tldjs --tldjs-update-rules should update the list of tlds globally.

I'm working on a tool that uses tld.js to check validity of email addresses, we have had several customers writing in being unable to sign up with their domains.

In my local dev environment, I saw that tldExists was returning false for a specific domain. After running the above command, the same argument began to return true, so I imagined the list of tlds had been updated successfully.

However the value continues to return false in staging and production. Am I missing something here?

Thanks!

Hi @critsmet,

I believe you might need to run this command after installing your dependencies in your staging and production environment as well (the command might need to be executed explicitly, maybe as a postinstall hook in your project?).

Best,
