yarn add <npm-package> rewrites bower.json even though nothing was added.

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

bug

What is the current behavior?

If I have a bower.json that isn't ordered. Like:

{
  "name": "patontheback",
  "dependencies": {
    "animate.css": "3.5.2",
    "Faker": "3.1.0"
  }
}

Then do:

yarn add node-sass

It will rewrite bower.json into being ordered:

{
  "name": "patontheback",
  "dependencies": {
    "Faker": "3.1.0",
    "animate.css": "3.5.2"
  }
}

What is the expected behavior?

If it's not doing stuff to bower.json it should probably just leave it alone.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

$ yarn --version
0.15.1
$ node --version
v6.8.1
$ sw_vers -productVersion
10.12

If I have a bower.json that isn't ordered.

If you have that file, what does Yarn do to it after you run yarn add node-sass?

[kitsunde]

Sorry hit enter too soon. I've edited it. bower.json gets resaved as an ordered file despite not having any changes.

{
  "name": "patontheback",
  "dependencies": {
    "Faker": "3.1.0",
    "animate.css": "3.5.2"
  }
}

I assume that it does the same thing to a package.json file? Just trying to figure out if it's a bower.json specific thing or not.

[kitsunde]

@hawkrives Same thing happens with package.json yeah.

We've removed support for Bower, see #1441.
