Not showing update available like it used to #34

Just noticed that update notification somehow cease to work. At first I wonder if this is a v1.1.2 thing, but downgrading doesn't solve the issue either. I'm really confused as this didn't happen before.

Take TypeScript for example, the installed version for this project is 4.5.4, and it should show me on the left that 4.5.5 is available.

Hey @MuTsunTsai, I have cloned your box-pleating-studio repo and can reproduce the problem.

It is weird because under the hood the extension executes npm outdated and then compares the 'Current' and 'Wanted' versions. If I do this manually, I get the following:

As you can see, many updates are not showing up and if they do show up, the 'Current' and 'Wanted' versions match.

What is even weirder, is that if I reinstall typescript to the same version in your package.json, the update for typescript does show up in npm outdated and therefore also in the dependencies list.

This looks to possibly be an issue with the npm itself.
