fix: don't print the funding message for global installs - #9927
Merged
Conversation
## What / Why A global install prints "N packages are looking for funding / run `npm fund` for details", but nothing can be done with it. `npm fund -g` fails with `EFUNDGLOBAL`, and a bare `npm fund` loads the tree at the local prefix, so outside a project it prints the directory name and nothing else. `packagesFundingMessage` in `lib/utils/reify-output.js` never looked at `npm.global`, so the hint went out for global installs too. It now returns early in that case. Making `npm fund -g` work is a separate feature request; #3112 already splits it out that way. ## Testing New case in `test/lib/utils/reify-output.js`, mirroring the existing `fund: false` one: with `global: true` the output no longer mentions funding. It fails without the change. ## References Fixes #9863 Fixes #3112 (cherry picked from commit 51c2bf8)
