// Prints this error once per workspace

The weird thing is, it seems to succeed and then fail! I even went into doctor.js and commented out the print and then it worked! I believe it's the same issue as https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates/issues/1214, where an object is ending up where a string should be.

Unfortunately doctor mode does not yet support workspaces. I would love to add this functionality though.

I have added a proper error message for now that informs users that it is not yet supported.

[saiichihashimoto]

ah, gotcha. Is there an issue/task/something I can track to see when it's available?

[raineorshine]

You're lookin' at it 😉
