fix(npm): avoid circular dependency when npm is in dependencies#7644
fix(npm): avoid circular dependency when npm is in dependencies#7644
Conversation
When npm:npm was added to the registry, npm was also added to NPMBackend's get_dependencies(). This caused a circular dependency: any npm backend tool would check for npm dependency, which would try to resolve npm:npm, which would call dependency_env(), creating an infinite loop until timeout. Fix by excluding npm from dependencies when the tool itself is npm.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Pull request overview
This pull request fixes a circular dependency timeout issue that occurs when using npm:npm after it was added to the registry. The fix prevents npm from listing itself as a dependency when the tool being installed is npm itself.
Changes:
- Modified
NPMBackend::get_dependencies()to conditionally exclude "npm" from the dependency list when the tool being installed is npm:npm - Added explanatory comments documenting the circular dependency prevention
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
Add tests to verify that npm:npm does not include npm in its dependencies to prevent circular dependency timeout.

Sorry to chime in on a random PR, but is there any way this fix could be expedited? This bug is causing us a lot of toil |

This was present in 2026.1.3, right? Github says it was mentioned in there, but if I search "7644" in that release PR I don't actually see it mentioned in the changelog Edit: I just realized the dates don't line up, 2026.1.3 is from Jan 13 and this was only merged on the 16th, but it's not present in the 2026.1.4 changelog either from what I can see Edit edit: Ah okay, I see the commit here in 2026.1.4, it's just missing from the changelog |
