npm package resolution hanging forever

[stabacco]

Looks like the package resolution is currently getting stuck while resolving dependencies

REPRO:

> nvm use 18
Now using node v18.5.0 (npm v8.12.1)

mkdir /tmp/test-graphql-faker-deps
cd  /tmp/test-graphql-faker-deps
npm init 
npm i graphql-faker --verbose

hangs forever for me:

npm timing idealTree:node_modules/graphql-faker Completed in 2ms

yarn seems to work fine on the other hand.

Ubuntu 18 through windows WSL2

It worked fine with yarn.

Same issue for me.

It worked fine with yarn.

Thanks a lot @icaroharry, I've just managed to install it using yarn as you mentioned.
