I've got a python app that uses some javascript assets that are normally built via webpack. In a normal build, the process is as follows:
* run "npm install" to get all the javascript dependencies
* run "npm build", a custom task in my package.json file that invokes webpack to build the assets and place them where the python install can find them.
* run "python setup.py install" to build and install the python part of the app
What's the best/most correct way to integrate this into a yocto recipe? My current approach is to have the main recipe "inherit setuptools3" and then add the following:
"
do_run_npm_install() { bbplain "Running npm install, this may take a few minutes..." npm install npm run build }
addtask run_npm_install before do_compile
"
However, this fails with an "npm: not found" error.
