[BUG] Install produces different package-lock.json on Linux and macOS #1360

@jliuhtonen

Description

@jliuhtonen

What / Why

Installing certain (combination of?) dependencies on Linux and macOS can result in a different package-lock.json with npm v6.14.4 depending on the underlying platform. As expected, using --force flag produces identical lockfile, but tries installing packages for wrong platform.

When

  • When npm install is run without existing lockfile or node_modules directory

Where

  • npm install

How

Current Behavior

Diff between lockfiles on Linux and macOS when installing webpack@4.43.0:

Steps to Reproduce

  • Install Node 12.17 and npm 6.14.4 on Linux and macOS hosts respectively
  • Create package.json as follows:
{
  "name": "my-package",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "webpack": "4.43.0"
  }
}
  • Run npm install on both hosts
  • Lockfiles are different
  • Delete lockfiles and node_modules directory on both hosts
  • Run npm install -f on both hosts
  • Lockfiles are identical this time

Expected Behavior

  • Lockfile should be platform independent and have the same result given the same package.json regardless of what software actually gets installed on the underlying platform.
