npm: Invalid tag name ">=null"

Hi team,

I am trying to use StateRestore with NPM and I don't succeed to install the BS4 module

Link to test case: npm install datatables.net-staterestore-bs4
Debugger code (debug.datatables.net): N/A
Error messages shown:

npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME npm ERR! Invalid tag name ">=null": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes. npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /Users/arnaud/.npm/_logs/2022-01-06T10_33_52_975Z-debug.log 

And in the debug logs I have

Description of problem:

It's impossible to install the node module datatables.net-staterestore-bs4

Note: datatables.net-staterestore is ok

Digging a bit more I found https://github.com/DataTables/Dist-DataTables-StateRestore-Bootstrap4/issues/1 and thus it's already fixed by @ctrought ( merged by @allan ) with

https://github.com/DataTables/Dist-DataTables-StateRestore-Bootstrap4/commit/6ff8241a36bb361b7a12ea12242eeabfe8e08de9

Thus we just need to wait for a 1.0.2 release AFAIU ?

Yes - we need to do a release to sort that out. I've added it to my list of things to do tomorrow .

Hi,

Sorry - getting bogged down in stuff at the moment and didn't get the release out. It is done now - 1.1.0.
