[BUG] workspaces `install-strategy = "nested"` does not install/ignores dependencies

samuelstroschein commented 1 year ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

[X] I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

npm does not install dependencies of package-b when install-strategy = "nested", and package-b is nested in another package (package-a). Not in the root of the workspace or the package itself.

- package-a
  - package-b
    package.json (dependencies of b)
  package.json (dependencies of a)
- package.json (workspaces)

Expected Behavior

Install the dependencies of package-b.

Steps To Reproduce

clone https://github.com/samuelstroschein/reproduction-npm-nested-packages-bug
run npm i

Environment

npm: v8/v9/v10 happens on every version of npm
Node.js: v18/v20
OS Name: Mac OS

maybe related https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/4774 but npm <8.5 also doesn't work

I think I'm having this same issue. It seems like a standard install-strategy="nested" just doesn't work at all. Anybody know if there are any updates on this?

npm / cli
