Output message only once per installation about vaadin-usage-statistics

[Artur-]

The shrinkwrap packages install all their dependencies inside the corresponding folder even though they are also in the main node_modules

Will investigate the options.

This most likely indicates that there are duplicate dependencies 😱

Does Flow run npm dedupe after installing dependencies?

[web-padawan]

I think this should be resolved by npm dedupe. Will double check if we can avoid that.

Can we make the message show up e.g max once per day/week instead of all the time? Having it spam the build log only makes me want to turn the whole thing off

This is issue should not be closed, when i run mvn jetty:run on the starters, it prints the info 3 times..

tested with platform 14.0.4 which is using vaadin-usage-statistics 2.0.10

Indeed, the fix was reverted because it did not work properly and was also tied to npm I think. Any other ideas for this @web-padawan ?

[web-padawan]

Yes, the problem was that npm could not be resolved in case of local Node installation.

I think we can try storing an info in the node_modules/.cache folder (if there are folder write permissions, which might not be always true, so need to try / catch).

Here is a library which could help to read / create such a cache folder:

How about using the global ~/.vaadin folder which is already used for e.g. proKey and other data. If you store it inside node_modules, it would be per project which is probably not what you want?
