无法在package.json依赖项列表中安装本地模块。由文件路径定义

Question

我在我的应用程序的根目录中有以下package.json。

....
"dependencies": {
"LessonApi": "file:apis/lesson",
"SearchAPI": "file:apis/search",
"SlotApi": "file:apis/slots",
"UserAPI": "file:apis/user",
"bcrypt": "^0.8.3",
"co": "^4.5.4",
"co-mysql": "^1.0.0",
"koa": "^0.20.0",
"koa-basic-auth": "^1.1.2",
"koa-bodyparser": "^2.0.0",
"koa-cors": "0.0.16",
"koa-generic-session": "^1.9.0",
"koa-mount": "^1.3.0",
"koa-passport": "^1.1.6",
"koa-router": "^5.1.2",
"koa-session": "^3.3.0",
"mysql": "^2.7.0",
"passport-facebook": "^2.0.0",
"sql-fixtures": "^0.11.0"
},
.....

我在/apis/lesson上有一个自定义模块。但是，一旦我在应用程序的根目录下安装npm，它就会失败，并给出这个错误。

git clone git@github.com:file:apis/slots Cloning into bare repository '/root/.npm/_git-remotes/git-github-com-file-apis-slots-6576eaee'...

请解释为什么这不起作用，因为从逻辑上讲，我觉得我应该能够有本地依赖。

Answer 1

对于其他可能偶然发现这一点的人，@Tom Robinson的评论正确地回答了这个问题。我只需要更新到npm v2.0.0。

这可以通过以下方式完成：

sudo npm install npm -g

Answer 2

file:是作为2.0.0版本的一部分添加的，因此需要升级npm。
