Over-counting dependencies?

[benmccann]

The dependency count in the report seems quite high to me

Also, consider the comparison between these two tools. I'm not sure why they're showing different output

svelte$ npx dependency-maintainers | grep ljharb
│ 81      │ 'ljharb'                              │ 3          │
svelte$ npx ihimnm
None found!

ihimnm doesn't check peers (important due to how, by default, package-managers install them for you)

see:

• https://github.com/bluwy/ihimnm/blob/main/index.js#L60-L64
• vs: https://github.com/NullVoxPopuli/dependency-maintainers/blob/main/package-json.js#L13

Hmm. I think there's some other difference. If I copy the ihimnm source into the svelte root directory and update it so that it includes peerDependencies it still returns "None found!"

[NullVoxPopuli]

hmm -- you could be running in to an npx cache with dependency-maintainers -- it's potentially too aggressive. Try npx dependency-maintainers@latest to force npx to clear its cache for dependency-maintainers

Aha! That was it. Thank you!
