Steps:

run ncu -u

Using ncu 16.4.1 and Yarn 3.2.0

Update: ncu -t newest -u is work well, but ncu -t latest -u is also stuck

Current Behavior

Stuck here

Expected Behavior

Run nicely

I've tried out your dependencies and ncu finishes every time for me, so it is probably your internet connection. It takes about 2.2 seconds to complete on my connection.

Here are some ideas that you could use to work around a slow/intermittent internet connection:

• change the number of retries with the --retry <n> option (default: 3)
• change the number of simultaneous connections with the --concurrency <n> option (default: 8)
• use an npm registry mirror that is geographically closer to you
• ssh into a machine with faster internet, e.g. AWS, and run ncu from there
• run ncu on smaller chunks of dependencies
  • e.g. by dependency section: ncu -u --dep dev && ncu -u --dep prod.
  • Or by dependency section x namespace: ncu -u --dep dev --filter "@*" && ncu -u --dep dev --reject "@*" && ncu -u --dep prod --filter "@*" && ncu -u --dep prod --reject "@*"

@raineorshine ncu -u --dep dev --filter "@*" && ncu -u --dep dev --reject "@*" && ncu -u --dep prod --filter "@*" && ncu -u --dep prod --reject "@*" is work like a charm

Thanks 👍
