Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

See https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/1991#issuecomment-853984404

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 install

_package.json

{
  "name": "npm-seven-issue",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "devDependencies": {
    "npm-seven-issue-dep": "git+ssh://[email protected]/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.

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Node: v16.2.0
• npm: 7.15.1

as well as

• OS: MacBook Pro 2019
• Node: v15.11.0
• npm: 7.15.1

What happens with npm 7 latest? (v7.6 is pretty old at this point)

Jun 03 '21 16:06 ljharb

Like with ubuntu, when I update npm on my macbook to @latest (7.15.1) I also get the 60+ seconds hang:

Jun 03 '21 16:06 klesun

btw, latest yarn (1.22.10) has no such issues, only 7th npm has

Jun 04 '21 08:06 klesun

npm 7.15.1 here, it's been a week now that this bug cause troubles. On my end it either hangs on "idealTree" or "reify". It seems to stall forever (or at least 5 min). Sometime retrying multiple times do it, but sometime not. I was suspecting some registry issue/lag at first, but yarn has no issue.

I think it's related to this: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/3257

Jun 10 '21 09:06 midudev

You could try to execute this using DEBUG=* npm install so more output could be provided. :)

Jun 10 '21 12:06 midudev

@midudev Here's the output that I have, after that NPM seems to hang forever. The only thing that I did before running the command was adding "playwright": "^1.12" in the dev dependencies of package.json.

I have Node v12.22.1 and NPM 7.14.0

@bperel can you try it with v7.19.1?

Jul 01 '21 19:07 ljharb

@bperel can you try it with v7.19.1?

It seems to work with 7.19.1

Jul 02 '21 16:07 bperel

@klesun @cronvel @midudev can you also try with npm v7.19.1?

Jul 02 '21 17:07 ljharb

@ljharb tried again on same mac with v7.19.1 the minimal repro repo, but still getting the lag, 72.92 seconds:

Same issue for me on NPM 7.20.5 running on a dated version of NodeJS. Oddly enough, the install succeeds only if I run npm in --verbose mode.

Aug 10 '21 10:08 metaturso

thanks a lot, this really helped me with the problem i had

Sep 15 '21 11:09 RichGod93

Getting a hang with [email protected] also.

When I run it like npm install --no-progress --verbose --loglevel silly I can see the same log lines repeating over and over. This shows to me there is a loop. Node crashes with a gc error on low-ish memory systems.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I saw a related issue here: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/3208

ED: One work around was to use a npmv6 generated package-lock.json file, then the install finished running.

npm v8.1.3 on Arch Linux also hangs forever on idealTree buildDeps when trying to install typescript.

Nov 23 '21 07:11 akyoto

I profiled npm while it was sitting on npm install lodash for 2 minutes and all it did was trying to write and update the gauge for about 5-8 seconds at a time. Not a single read. For somebody familiar with the code it should be trivial to identify what's going on - just attach a debugger and there it is.

Nov 24 '21 02:11 gh-andre

I figured out why npm is hanging in the case described in my comment above. Maybe this will help others identify similar issues.

Basically, npm hangs silently for about 7 minutes (default configuration) if it cannot connect to registry.npmjs.org. In my case, this will happen for any VM created in AWS, in region us-west-2. Other regions, such as us-west-1 and use-east-1, work fine. You can test if that's what's going on in your environment with curl like this.

curl --connect-timeout 15 https://registry.npmjs.org

In a working environment you will get a JSON response right away and in an environment where it cannot connect to the npm registry, it will hang for 15 seconds and report a connection error.

I admire npm's resiliency in trying to install packages, but I wish it would report retries immediately, instead of waiting until it gives up entirely in 7 minutes, even with verbose output.

@MJ9001 Try the curl command above. If it times out, check the network for issues - firewall, network access control lists, etc - anything that can block IP or TCP traffic.

Jan 12 '22 05:01 gh-andre

@gh-andre Sorry, I should've mentioned that I did try that command. I get a response in about a second with the JSON data. I didn't have any timeout issues either yesterday when troubleshooting or today when verifying.

Jan 12 '22 22:01 GlitchyMark

@MJ9001 Seems to be a different issue then. The only thing I can think of if any of the packages come from a different npm registry and that one is inaccessible (e.g. scoped packages). Other than that, no idea. Sorry.

Jan 12 '22 23:01 gh-andre

I just had this problem and I found that I needed to figure out a problem with my network connection.

Jan 16 '22 09:01 mattalxndr

I have the same problem, I need a help, it's from 3 days I'm looking for this problem

Jan 27 '22 09:01 HamzataBarrie

@HamzataBarrie Assuming you're on ArchLinux you may have had the same issue as me. I was having an issue with the official Arch npm package for some reason. I downloaded the linux distribute from the node website instead and dropped that in. Everything worked correctly after that. I didn't look further to find out why. I purged everything related to node several times prior with no success.

Im on mac running big sur 11.6 and have this issue too. it will install without using the sudo command but it fails to completely install do to the lack of permissions. when using sudo it hangs

This likely isn't everyone's issue, but I was struggling with any npm install after upgrading to npm 7 or npm 8, and found that my user .npmrc file had ca = "" in it. After removing that my installs sped back up to normal speeds.
