git dependency of dependeny not installed in deep node_modules

[Maxim Yefremov]

I got module A that depending on module B by git dependency and module B depending on module C. At the same time module A depends on module C by git dependency. When I do npm install for A it install B and C in node_modules but in A/node_modules/B/node_modules I do not see C folder as expected. If I remove dependency C from A it install B with dependency C well. But I want A to depend on C too.

Assuming the C dependency is the same or compatible version between A and B, then this is working as expected. npm knows how to resolve recursive dependencies such that they are not duplicated. If A and B depended on different versions of C, then you would be both of those as you originally expected.

See the npm docs for the install algorithm.

the way how node module loader resolves modules allows it to place C only once in the hierarchy of dependencies. B still has access to C. http://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_all_together describes, how the resolver works.

Thanx Marco and greelgorke. Looks like true. But the problem is that module B dont have access to C and throws error (module not found) if it is loaded in A/node_modules and not in A/node_modules/B/node_modules. Allthough it's required as usual inside B: require('C'). I found temporal solution: comment C dependency  in A, then npm intall in A and then uncomment it and npm install again. C version is the same in A and B.
