[BUG] npm outdated --json only lists a single entry for each package, producing less than without --json #6630
Description
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npm outdated in a project with workspaces can produce:
Package Current Wanted Latest Location Depended by
xxx 1.0.00 1.0.00 1.1.00 node_modules/xxx workspace1@npm:workspace1name@1.0.0
xxx 1.0.00 1.0.00 1.1.00 node_modules/xxx workspace2@npm:workspace2name@1.0.0
xxx 1.0.00 1.0.00 1.1.00 node_modules/xxx rootProject
...but when doing npm outdated --json, only details of the last dependent is shown:
{
"xxx": {
"current": "1.0.00",
"wanted": "1.0.00",
"latest": "1.1.00",
"dependent": "rootProject",
"location": "../rootProject/node_modules/xxx"
}Hence, seems like whatever reducer is producing the json is flattening to the last dependent, rather than providing a full list that would be available without --json.
To get around this, one must call npm outdated --json --workspace=xxx for each workspace, then consolidate the results. Presumably the --json option shouldn't produce less information than the tabular format?
Expected Behavior
Either the output needs to include an array per dependency:
{
"xxx": [
{
"current": "1.0.00",
"wanted": "1.0.00",
"latest": "1.1.00",
"dependent": "workspace1",
"location": "../rootProject/node_modules/xxx"
},
{
"current": "1.0.00",
"wanted": "1.0.00",
"latest": "1.1.00",
"dependent": "workspace2",
"location": "../rootProject/node_modules/xxx"
},
{
"current": "1.0.00",
"wanted": "1.0.00",
"latest": "1.1.00",
"dependent": "rootProject",
"location": "../rootProject/node_modules/xxx"
}
]
}..or if "dependent" isn't needed in the output as a key, just key a map by dependent:
{
"xxx": {
"rootProject": {
"current": "1.0.00",
"wanted": "1.0.00",
"latest": "1.1.00",
"location": "../rootProject/node_modules/xxx"
},
"workspace1": {
"current": "1.0.00",
"wanted": "1.0.00",
"latest": "1.1.00",
"location": "../rootProject/node_modules/xxx"
},
"workspace2": {
"current": "1.0.00",
"wanted": "1.0.00",
"latest": "1.1.00",
"location": "../rootProject/node_modules/xxx"
}
}
}Steps To Reproduce
npm outdated --json with a project that includes workspaces (with or without the --workspaces flag)
