This PR removes the package-lock.json file to resolve a package manager conflict warning that appears when running yarn install.

Problem

The repository uses Yarn as its package manager, evidenced by:

  • Presence of yarn.lock file
  • Dockerfile uses RUN yarn install
  • README.md instructs users to use yarn install
  • Code dynamically installs packages with yarn add

However, the repository also contained a package-lock.json file (generated by npm), which caused Yarn to display this warning:

yarn install v1.22.22
warning package-lock.json found. Your project contains lock files generated by tools other than Yarn. It is advised not to mix package managers in order to avoid resolution inconsistencies caused by unsynchronized lock files. To clear this warning, remove package-lock.json.

Solution

Removed the package-lock.json file since it's unused when using Yarn and conflicts with the yarn.lock file. This eliminates the warning and prevents potential package resolution inconsistencies.

After the fix

yarn install v1.22.22
[1/5] Validating package.json...
[2/5] Resolving packages...
[3/5] Fetching packages...

The warning is completely gone and yarn install proceeds normally without any package manager conflicts.

Fixes #1681.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • github.com (HTTP Only)
    • Triggering command: git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/rdf-ext/rdf-ext.git (packet block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
