[BUG] Project name was being added to dependencies automatically about cli HOT 6 OPEN

@naresh1054 Please provide steps to reproduce to understand for which situation it's happening.

from cli.

@milaninfy I had a project a long time back, when I came back and tried starting it using the command npm start it started adding a new line in the dependencies section of package.json with key as project name and value as "file:". I am facing the same issue in all of my projects. I tried deleting the lock file along with node_modules but still, the issue was not resolved.

from cli.

you mentioned that all your project is having this issue in the description, is it happening when you do npm install or when you do script run like npm run start ?

from cli.

It's happening in both scenarios: whether I remove the line from package.json and then run npm install, or simply remove the line from package.json without running any commands, the line gets automatically added back into the file.

from cli.

@naresh1054 Issue seems like unrelated to npm cli, but to be sure Could you please check the same with different version of npm? e.g. if you are using 10.8.2, try with 10.7.0 of some other lower version if it's the same.

from cli.

@naresh1054 , if you are using VS code and installed the extension Red Hat Dependency Analytics disable it for now , for my case it was the problem with their last version (V 0.9.5 )
