Cannot find module 'pseudoexec'

[DavidGOrtega]

Tests are not passing. When executing

npm install -g

we have Cannot find module 'pseudoexec'

[DavidGOrtega]

Can not be reproduced locally

Assigned @0x2b3bfa0 just in case it's something that needs fixing at https://github.com/0x2b3bfa0/node-pseudoexec :)

Its happening everywhere #827

Apparently, it happens because the global install is just a symbolic link to the GitHub Actions workspace directory.

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/../lib/node_modules/@dvcorg/cml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 runner docker 39 Dec 14 17:03 /usr/local/bin/../lib/node_modules/@dvcorg/cml -> ../../../../../home/runner/work/cml/cml

Running npm install --global && npm install solves the issue by also downloading dependencies to the local node_modules but it's just a workaround, not a fix.

I wonder if somebody at npm mistakenly turned npm install into npm link 🤔

• npm install should not create symlinks npm/npm#18503

[0x2b3bfa0]

It looks like npm install --global is just linking the package, and does not install any dependencies from package.json 🤔

[0x2b3bfa0]

Noting is inherently wrong with the pseudoexec module apart from being the first import in the file, by the way.
