Unable to npm2rpm

Development
1

Hi folks,

I am trying to upgrade foreman-packaging/rpm/develop, so it will use a newer version of patternfly-react (2.29.0) but having some troubles with it.

Even tho I did it a few times before with no problem, this time it refuses to work.

1. Installed npm2rpm 

➜  foreman-packaging git:(rpm/develop) npm install -g npm2rpm
➜  foreman-packaging git:(rpm/develop) cat /home/asharvit/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.0/lib/node_modules/npm2rpm/package.json | grep version
  "version": "3.1.0"

2. Try to create a bundled rpm:

➜  foreman-packaging git:(rpm/develop) ./add_npm_package.sh patternfly-react 2.29.0 bundle
Detected update...Making directory...rm 'packages/foreman/nodejs-patternfly-react/nodejs-patternfly-react.spec'

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Try using an older node perhaps?

We actually rely on an unreleased version of npm2rpm. That version is compatible with the newest node and contains some more features. I need some help from @dLobatog to do an actual release but in the mean time please use the git version.

Works well with node v8.15.0, thanks @ohadlevy.

@ekohl what do you mean by 'git version`? what is the git version? (master in github?)

Correct:

When using the git version I get this error:

Getting the same error when using node-v10.15.0, node-v8.15.0 and node-v8.11.1.

Should have mentioned that the script also needs modifications to work with the newer version:

With the help of @dLobatog I released npm2rpm 4.0 and merged the matching packaging PR. This also means all packagers that use npm2rpm must update their versions.
