openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Bundled runtime deps cache reports 1 missing for chokidar on every restart [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Update the ensureNpmInstallExecutionManifest function to record all actually-installed dependencies in the manifest, including transitive dependencies.

Guidance

• Modify the ensureNpmInstallExecutionManifest function to write all installed dependencies to the manifest, not just the explicit top-level dependencies (installSpecs).
• Alternatively, update the missing detection logic to ignore dependencies that are present in node_modules but absent from the manifest.
• Verify the fix by checking the manifest file at ~/.openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps/<hash>/package.json to ensure it includes all installed dependencies, including transitive ones like chokidar.
• Test the gateway restart to confirm the log message about the missing dependency is no longer appearing.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include the specific code for the ensureNpmInstallExecutionManifest function or the missing detection logic.

Notes

This fix assumes that updating the manifest to include all installed dependencies or modifying the detection logic to account for dependencies in node_modules will resolve the issue. However, the actual implementation details may vary based on the specific requirements and constraints of the project.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by updating the ensureNpmInstallExecutionManifest function to include all installed dependencies in the manifest, as this directly addresses the identified root cause of the issue.
