npm-check freezes computer

Open alejandroiglesias opened this issue 9 years ago • 7 comments

Hi, just wanted to let you know that npm-check just froze my computer almost immediately after running it. I just uninstalled it for good and according to other bug reports, something's going on with resource usage. Hope you can tackle that down but I would suggest adding a warning notice.

In my situation it's similiar.. All my memory/swap, CPU and i/o disk are consumed when I run: npm-check --skip-unused... And after 2 minutes.. is killed. ⠴ Checking npm registries for updated packages.Killed (SIGKILL)

Yup, just tried it too on my Linux machine - freezes everything for a minute or two :(.

Ditto on macOS 10.12.3. Uses up a many GBs of memory, freezing my computer until it completes

I have the same problem with this specific repository: https://github.com/verivox/lighthouse-monitor

Can anyone confirm this behavior on mac or windows?

npm-check freezes with ~20gb of allocated ram on my 32gb ram machine.

Still an issue. Do we need quantum computers to use your package?
