[BUG] Npm install hangs indefinitely

[alexia312313]

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

Npm hangs indefinitely when installing

npm install --verbose
...
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular/language-service/-/language-service-18.1.1.tgz 4905ms (cache miss)
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular/cdk/-/cdk-18.1.1.tgz 4934ms (cache miss)
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/nx/-/nx-19.5.1.tgz 4974ms (cache miss)
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular/core/-/core-18.1.1.tgz 5167ms (cache miss)
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular/common/-/common-18.1.1.tgz 5474ms (cache miss)

Either rebooting, clearing the cache npm cache clean --force, or removing package-lock.json worked

With other projects I have, it works, maybe one package is broken.

Update: Interesting, after removing the package-lock.json and doing a npm install on one of my projects
it successfully installed the packages but looking at git changes, the new package-lock.json seems to have
removed this lines of every package

"resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/@electron/get/-/get-2.0.3.tgz",
"integrity": "sha512-Qkzpg2s9GnVV2I2BjRksUi43U5e6+zaQMcjoJy0C+C5oxaKl+fmckGDQFtRpZpZV0NQekuZZ+tGz7EA9TVnQtQ==",

Expected Behavior

succesfully install the packages

Steps To Reproduce

1. mkdir testdir

2. cd testdir

3. npm init (defaults)

4. edit the package.json and add this lines

I get the same issue if building w/ Docker image node:22.5.0, and can't reproduce it in node:22.4.
Could you try downgrading Node and seeing if you can reproduce it?

Closing Seems similer if not duplicate of #7657.
Try node 22.4.1 with npm 10.8.2.

Yes, downgrading to node 22.4.1 solves the issue, thanks :)

Fixed in Node.js v22.5.1 nodejs/node#53902 (comment)
