"typings install" as "npm run postinstall" misses global dependencies

[GreenToast]

My package.json looks contains the typings install
"scripts": { "postinstall": "typings install",

but it's working different when I run npm run postinstall only main and broswer dependecies are installed, but when running typings install direct from the command line it install also the globals.

Neither installing typings as local dependency or adding --global helped.

What is your version of Typings? What does your typings.json say? It's most likely a version mismatch.

Having same issue. Described it on SO. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38699254/install-global-typings-from-npm-script
my typings version =1.3.2, npm version =3.3.12
typings.json content:

{
  "name": "???",
  "version": false,
  "globalDependencies": {
    "angular": "github:DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/angularjs/angular.d.ts#f3911d711006be676d9e1bcbc7c768b39d1ad81b",
    "angular-ui-router": "registry:dt/angular-ui-router#1.1.5+20160707113237",
    "ui-grid": "registry:dt/ui-grid#0.0.0+20160619032954"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "lodash": "registry:npm/lodash#4.0.0+20160723033700"
  }
}

Turned out to be version mismatch between local and global typings instance.

I'm having the same problem.

Basically, when the postinstall script runs on my local machine (which has typings installed both globally and locally) - it works fine. But I also have the repository on a docker container running on DigitalOcean where I've only installed typings locally - it doesn't install globalDependencies for some reason.

Must typings be installed globally?

[unional]

Nope. If you use postinstall, it will lookup and use the typings locally. Can you confirm your local typings on your docker is up to date?

If it is, then share your cmd and result.

From https://github.com/Izhaki/gefri:

"typings": "^1.3.1",

Doesn't run properly using this Dockerfile:

FROM node:4
ENV SHELL=/bin/bash
EXPOSE 8080

[unional]

You don't have a typings.json? Or it's about something else?

[Izhaki]

Odd...

Somehow it made it to .gitignore, but it does exist within the docker image:

{
  "globalDependencies": {
    "jasmine": "registry:dt/jasmine#2.2.0+20160621224255"
  }
}

Sorry, my wrong, it is created in postinstall:

"postinstall": "typings install dt~jasmine --save --global && mkdir -p dist",

[unional]

In postinstall (and pefered prepublish), you probably want to do just typings install and keep the typings.json in your repo.

I had to take the droplet down. So no way to check at the moment.
