NPM installation not working properly

[GaneshRengasamy]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on create the ASP.NET Core Project Templates for my controls. I am using some third party npm packages to use my control after create the custom project template. I have added the logic for NPM installation itself to overcome the manual process of give the NPM restore from project while creating the custom project from my project template.

System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
string npmArguments = "/c npm install " + "@syncfusion/ej2-js-es5"+ "@" + "16.3.21";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = npmArguments;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Environment.CurrentDirectory = NPMInstallerPath;
try
{
dte.StatusBar.Text = ("Syncfusion Essential JS 2: " + project.Name + ", Adding Syncfusion EJ2 NPM to the project...");
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
}



But NPM is not restored by default after created the project. NPM package entries available in the package.json file. This issue has been reproduced in VS2017 15.7.1 only. I have checked the same VSIX in VS2017 15.8.4, the issue is not reproduced. NPM is installed properly.

Could you please suggest me anyone to resolve this issue?


Thanks,
