This is especially common for ecosystems like that rely on \fBtypescript\fR where having state split across two different but identically-named packages causes bugs. You can use the \fB--expect-results\fR or \fB--expect-result-count\fR in your setup to ensure that npm will exit with an exit code if your tree doesn't look like you want it to. .P .RS 2 .nf $ npm query '#react' --expect-result-count=1 .fi .RE .P Perhaps you want to quickly check if there are any production dependencies that could be updated: .P .RS 2 .nf $ npm query ':root>:outdated(in-range).prod' --no-expect-results .fi .RE .SS "Package lock only mode" .P If package-lock-only is enabled, only the information in the package lock (or shrinkwrap) is loaded.
