[BUG] npm view ${tag} version got stuck when ran from workspace directory #3790
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
Hi, I have a simple monorepo project with workspaces. Root pkg.json contains
"workspaces": [
"packages/*",
],
Command npm view ${tag} version (tag is any package/* and is published and exists in the registry) ran in the command line from root returns version as expected.
But, running this command from the directory of any package gets stuck and returns nothing (the process is stuck).
Expected Behavior
npm view ${tag} version command should behave the same no matter where ran.
Steps To Reproduce
- Have monorepo with workspaces
- Have published monorepo packages (at least the one you will try to "view")
- Run
npm view ${tag} versionfrom the directory of one of the packages, where $tag is one of the published packages - process will get stuck
Environment
- OS: Win 10
- Node: v14.17.3
- npm: 7.23.0

There are two things happening here. First, if you do something like
npm view npm/cliit will try to view the github package athttps://github.com/npm/cli. Two strings joined by a slash is shorthand for a github url. The fact that it's hanging on your machine would indicate that git itself is hanging for one reason or another.Second, there does appear to be a bug trying to
npm view ./path. A pr fixing this is in the works.
