Package-maintenance: New repository for testing dependents

Created on 27 Apr 2020  路  7Comments  路  Source: nodejs/package-maintenance

As per https://github.com/nodejs/package-maintenance/issues/327#issuecomment-620147653 I think we need a new repository for the testing tool. Im proposing we create a new repository called dependents-testing in the pkgjs org, as per the process in https://github.com/nodejs/package-maintenance/pull/338, if there are no objections in the next 72 hours, I will create the repo.

@ljharb Yeah, looks like https://github.com/chrisdickinson/npm-get-dependents is quite outdated at this point :) I can try to see if I can update that, but I think for testing in CI you鈥檇 probably want fixed module names anyway

Sorry I took 3 days to respond... I suppose I can create the repo and we can rename it later, but how about we find another name for it?

citgm is already taken by node, so to avoid confusion I was thinking something else.

One early idea I had was "what-if-you-use-this" (wiyut).

"will i break you"

I know the package isn鈥檛 exactly popular, but I have been using it for a few years now on projects and it seems to do exactly what you are going for here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/reverse-test

Ooh, fancy! I can't get it to produce any output unless i pass a package name tho :-/

Adding to agenda - let's make a decision if we want to create the repo as is, or with a different name, or fork, or wait, if that's OK @andrewhughes101?

Created https://github.com/pkgjs/wiby and added @andrewhughes101 as a maintainer (until we get a better too to manage permissions).
