[BUG] 7.0.6 regression in npm run

[gjasny]

Hello,

when I run the following testcase in the dockerfile with npm 7.0.6 it fails with:

npm ERR! Cannot read property 'once' of undefined

Running it with 7.0.5 works as expected.

Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:20.04

# silence debconf
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

# update base packages
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

# install nodejs
WORKDIR /opt
RUN apt-get install -y tar wget xz-utils
RUN wget --no-check-certificate https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v12.x/node-v12.19.0-linux-x64.tar.xz \
    && tar -axvf node-v12.19.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
RUN ln -s /opt/node-v12.19.0-linux-x64/bin/* /usr/local/bin/

# upgrade npm
RUN npm install npm@7.0.6 -g # CVE-2020-15095 / GHSA-xgh6-85xh-479p
RUN npm --version

# run testcase
WORKDIR /testcase
ADD package.json .
RUN npm run testcase

package.json:

{
    "name": "testcase",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "dummy test case",
    "scripts": {
        "testcase": "/bin/true"
    }
}

Could you please take a look?

For convenience I added both files into a repo: https://github.com/gjasny/2065-npm-error-reproducer

Duplicate of npm/run-script#13. 🙂

i believe this should be fixed in 7.0.7, can you try to update with npm i npm@7 and see if it's resolved for you?

@nlf I can confirm that this issue is fixed. Thanks!
