installs wrong version of modules

[ColCh]

npm versions affected as well: 3.8.9, 3.9.0

After npm cache clean, rm -r node_modules and npm install, I experience following:
( I have "lodash": "^4.11.1", in my deps)

npm ls:

Running npm install second time resolves this problem:

But I can't just run npm install twice every time :( Also my CI is broken at this point

What ...

I moved my "lodash": "^4.11.1" dependency from devDependencies to dependencies and now it works fine.

However, this is wrong behaviour, isn't it?

This is probably related to #10119

This is a major problem with npm 3 and it stuck around for most of its major revisions. The workaround so far has been to either :

1. Install twice; or
2. Merge devDependencies into dependencies and then run npm install

@lxe It's probably a dupe for #10277, but I'm not sure. I leave issue open, until someone from npm team will take a look on this issue.

I experiance this behavior with my module. Recently changed from electron 0.x to 1.x. Tips above solve the issue only for current console session. NPM -v 2.15.1
Ref: s-a/iron-node#104

Sorry for the noise. I was confused by circumstances which are related to electron. Please ignore my last post.

[schmod]

Looks like a dupe of #10727

This is quite probably fixed as of [email protected] thanks to #12811. Cheers!
