Forgetting to "npm install" solved...

Does this sound familiar?

$ git pull upstream master
$ npm run build

ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!

5 to 15 minutes of searching and finally

$ npm install
$ npm run build
build complete

The dependencies changed, you didn't notice, and doh! Okay, maybe that only happens to me? 😊

Well, you can fix that with ld-check-dependencies. Just add it to your build script in your package.json as in

  ...
  "scripts": {
    "build": "ld-check-dependencies && rollup ..."
  },
  ...

Now when you build if your dependencies are out of date you'll get told to run npm install

The best part is ld-check-dependencies is tiny. It's only 9 lines of code, 0 dependencies.
