npm with dijit/dojox fails because of package.json's dojo version

[kbrowder]

After npm config set registry packages.dojofoundation.org I do npm install [email protected] and things work, however npm install [email protected] or dojox fails because npm can't find 'current' versions of npm. According to the commonjs or node standards for package.json there is no "current" keyword; either standard requires a version of some sort. For released tagged versions this should be identical as the version (eg if i do [email protected] I should not get dojo>1.7.1). You can see ​https://github.com/dojo/dijit/blob/1.7.1/package.json:

"dependencies": {

"dojo": "current"

}

Which I think should be "dojo": "1.7.1". Not sure what it should be for dev versions.

(In #14787) assigning to csnover as the release manager for 1.8

marked this as blocking #14622 since being able to properly declare a dependency on a specific version of a package depends on that package being marked with the appropriate version.

Assign the correct Dojo version dependency, fixes #14622

Maybe this is a new bug, but package.json hasn't been updated in 1.8.0r1 so I don't think this fix will actually work as expected: ​https://github.com/dojo/dijit/blob/1.8.0rc1/package.json Has: "dependencies": { "dojo": "1.8.0dev" } Which presumably will make node (or other package managers) try to get dojo 1.8.0dev instead of 1.8.0rc1.

will ensure this is working for final.

Add dependencies to dojox package.json and ensure dependency versions are updated in package.json. Fixes #14622.
