Need to explicitly install webidl-conversions

[ngryman]

Hey,

I'm using [email protected] and I've got a the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'webidl-conversions'

Explicitly installing the webidl-conversions package resolves the problem. I don't know if it's related to jsdom though.

In a fresh directory I get:

$ npm install browser-env
+ [email protected]
added 94 packages in 4.853s

$ node -e "console.log(require('browser-env'))"
[Function: browserEnv]

Possibly something strange in your setup?

Gonna close this issue as it seems to be unrelated to browser-env or jsdom. Feel free to re-open if you find otherwise.

@lukechilds Thanks for the feedback. I am using it with ava following their guide: https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/master/docs/recipes/browser-testing.md.

I'll dig a little deeper my side to see if it could be related to my setup, which is kind of basic, and get back to you.

For posterity, removing my package-lock.json file and doing a fresh install worked. It might come from the fact I was using jsdom before switching to browser-env, and somehow npm got lost on the way 🤷‍♂️

npm 5 is buggy as hell, you should use either npm 4 or yarn.

I can't tell you the amount of development hours I lost on npm 5 due to it doing weird shit.
