Bind mountings not working as expected

[andreafspeziale]

I created the following example to highlight what I can't make it work:

• https://github.com/andreafspeziale/docker-node

I don't have any local node_modules. I'm running everything through Docker.

As soon as I bootstrap the project with $ docker-compose up everything looks great.
If I try to change the Hello World! sentence in index.js nodemon reloads the server as expected.

But as soon as I want to add a dependency like lodash while developing and while my container is up and running the package.json is not updated.

As explained in this repo (node-docker-good-defaults) I'm using $ docker-compose exec -w /opt/node_app node npm install --save lodash to install the new dependency and reflect the changes on my host project. Unfortunately it isn't working.

Any hints?

related to other's issues with writing to package.json in #28 maybe?

@BretFisher Indeed. I will delete this issue and copy my message over there. Thanks!
