[BUG] npm install started to hang on "still idealTree buildDeps" for 60 seconds if there are dependencies pointing to specific gitlab repository url (a regression compared to npm v6) #3359
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
See #1991 (comment)
Current Behavior
npm install in a fresh project with an explicit git+ssh dependency on a gitlab repo (minimal example) takes 60+ seconds, seemingly it waits for some random network timeout before proceeding the installation.
Expected Behavior
npm install should take 2-3 seconds to install dependencies of the project in minimal example like it did in npm v6.
Steps To Reproduce
See https://gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue
I reproduced this hang in Ubuntu 20.04 with npm 7.15.1 as well as MacBook Pro 2019 with npm 7.15.1
git clone https://gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue.git
cd npm-seven-issue
npm installpackage.json
{
"name": "npm-seven-issue",
"version": "0.0.1",
"devDependencies": {
"npm-seven-issue-dep": "git+ssh://git@gitlab.com/klesun/npm-seven-issue-dep#5f1b313978986974d4364585e6bd3689276f1697"
}
}If you are using npm version prior to v7.x, for example v6.14.13, npm install should be done within 2-3 seconds.
If you are using npm version v7.0.0 or later, for example 7.15.1, npm install will hang for 60+ seconds with following text:
[....................] \ idealTree.pql-box: still idealTree buildDeps
Note, you need to remove package-lock.json and node_modules prior to retrying the npm install, otherwise issue won't reproduce.
