The NPM package.json documentation[1] states that git URLs may contain a commit-ish suffix to specify a specific revision. When running `npm install`, this revision will be looked for on any branch of the repository. The bitbake implementation however translates the URL stored in package.json into a git URL to be fetch by the bitbake git fetcher. The bitbake fetcher git.py, enforces the branch to be master by default. If the revision specified in the package.json is not on the master branch, the fetch will fail while the package.json is valid. To fix this, append the ";nobranch=1" suffix to the revision in the git URL to be fetched. This will make the bitbake git fetcher ignore the branch and respect the behavior of `npm install``. This can be tested with the following command: $ devtool add --npm-dev https://github.com/seapath/cockpit-cluster-dashboard.git -B version Which points to a project which has a package.json with a git URL: ```json "devDependencies": { "cockpit-repo": "git+https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit.git#d34cabacb8e5e1e028c7eea3d6e3b606d862b8ac" } ``` In this repo, the specified revision is on the "main" branch, which would fail without this fix.
