`make test-npm` is not particularly robust (currently fails on Linux and Windows, reportedly) and results in a fair number of requests for help from people new to the project. It is used when upgrading npm in core, which only a small number of mostly-predefined people do. Remove it from the general build doc. Refs: nodejs#12836

Not sure if this would have helped with finding out npm/npm#16734, but somewhere we need to regression test |
|
Ref: #11540 |
@refack No because the test doesn't work on Windows and 16734 is a Windows issue. This was a documentation-only PR. No tests were removed or anything like that. I think comments on the quality or effectiveness of our npm testing in general should go in a separate issue. |
Ack. My comment wasn't directly related to this PR, definatly not critique, I just needed a thread with context, and I only found #11540 later (mostly had a guilty mind / hindsight is always 20/20 etc.) |
