infinity loop on checking packages

[WuglyakBolgoink]

since last week I can't upgrade packages. It stucks on this step:

⠧ Checking npm registries for updated packages.

• npm -v
  • 6.14.7
• node -v
  • v14.8.0
• npm-check
  • v5.9.2

same problem when i use with RPI4 (2GB)

const npmCheck = require('npm-check');

npmCheck(options)
  .then(currentState => console.log(currentState.get('packages')));

CPU : ~100 % Memory : ~100%

I wait 10 min and stop the process

Note: works fine in Linux debian

Same problem, running on npm 6.14.8 node(snap) v14.9.0

[johannespfeiffer]

Same npm 6.14.8 node v12.18.3

Found no reason or workaround so far.

I'm experiencing this too. What's also interesting is that npm-check -ug will work and let me update my global packages, but it just get stuck checking NPM when running within a project using npm-check -u. Maybe this is because I have very few globally installed dependencies?

I've been trying to go to older versions of npm-check to see where the bug go introduced but haven't had any luck yet.
