Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

npm query *:missing only return one item when no dependency are installed (for package.json with 2 dependencies and 2 devDependencies).

No luck with any combination of selector (.dev,.prod) or pseudo-selector (:root, :scope).

Expected Behavior

I expect all "dependencies not found on disk" to be returned.

Steps To Reproduce

mkd my-package npm init -y npm i canvas-context canvas-tint-image npm i -D glob rm -r node_modules npm query '*:missing' // returns [ { "name": "canvas-context", "version": "^3.2.0", "_id": "canvas-context@^3.2.0", "pkgid": "canvas-context@^3.2.0", "path": null, "realpath": null, "resolved": null, "from": [], "to": [], "dev": true, "inBundle": false, "deduped": false, "overridden": false, "queryContext": {} } ]

Only the first missing package removed from node_modules is returned.

Environment

• npm: 10.5.0
• Node.js: v21.7.1
• OS Name: MacOS
