[BUG] Script execution fails for scoped packages that contain dependencies

Opened this issue · 0 comments

What / Why

If a package is published to a registry other than npmjs.com (i.e. a GitLab registry), executing scripts from the package will fail if the package contains any dependencies.

If the package contains no dependencies, the script will execute successfully.

When

  • The package is published to a custom registry using a scoped name (i.e. @my-registry/my-package)
  • The package contains dependencies
