Description
Alloy has a
preinstall
script that runs before any project (including the alloy sandbox and the alloy Tags extension) installs alloy's dependencies when it includes alloy as a dependency. The preinstall script runsforce-resolutions
which "This package modifies package-lock.json to force the installation of specified versions of a set of transitive dependencies (dependencies of dependencies).". It was added back in January as an attempt to fix Saucelab errors around Firefox install.But, for some reason, that package crashes on some machines. I've run it in three environments (Mac, Windows, Ubuntu) and it breaks on Mac.
