jfrog-cli 2.74.0 (NPM integration): "Error: 8 [Error] failed to parse '{..}' from npm ls output"

[akhter-ali-idexx]

Describe the bug

on github actions, running ubuntu:latest and container node:20, we're executing jf npm ci which successfully runs. However, it runs an npm ls --json afterwards and fails to parse the JSON.

If possible, I'd like to omit npm ls --json entirely since npm ci is successful

Current behavior

jf npm ci executes and successfully downloads all packages
npm ls --json runs and fails to parse the JSON on github actions

Reproduction steps

In github actions, using ubuntu:latest and container node:20, with a large project which include multiple package.json files, execute jf npm ci

Expected behavior

Only jf npm ci to execute and not npm ls --json

JFrog CLI version

2.74.0

Operating system type and version

Github Actions ubuntu:latest (22.04)

JFrog Artifactory version

cloud

JFrog Xray version

Bump - we are seeing the same issue.

A few notes:

• This error seems to be related to npm workspaces. We run jf audit --fail=true as part of our CI process. The build step with jf audit starting failing with this error on the PR that introduced npm workspaces to the code base.
  • We are also seeing "resolved": "file:../../packages/utils" in the jf audit failure output.
• According to npm, our code is structured correctly and doesn't have any issues. I know this because runningnpm ls and npm ls --json works without any issues. However, jf audit fails, even though npm doesn't report any dependency conflicts or resolution errors.
• Also, cleaning the project and running npm i works without any issues. Once again, this is an indicator that the project is set up correctly, but the jf cli is having issues.
