[BUG] Platform-specific optional dependencies not being included in package-lock.json

[kusyka911]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

Most likely related to #4828

Tried with:

• npm@10.9.2 and npm@11.4.1
• node@22.13.0 and node@22.16.1

None is updating package-lock with platform specific dependencies.
Can't do update on local machine because my laptop is arm64 darwin, have to run a x86_64 VM or drop package-lock on CI.

Here is log from one of my CI runs.

Error: Cannot find module @rollup/rollup-linux-x64-gnu. npm has a bug related to optional dependencies (https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/4828). Please try `npm i` again after removing both package-lock.json and node_modules directory.

Expected Behavior

package-lock successfully updated with platform specific dependencies when npm ci or npm install runs in CI environment.

Steps To Reproduce

1. App with "vite@^5.3.4" + package-lock.json generated on arm64.
2. Build app in CI environment like github actions

• node@22.13.0 and node@22.16.1
• OS Name: local: macOS / CI: ubuntu@24.04.2

@kchindam-infy Sorry, it's probably my mistake. I've just made fresh installation of all dependencies with npm@11.4.1 and it looks like everything is good for now.
