Run something like:\r\n```js\r\nconst {spawnSync} = require('child_process')\r\n\r\nconsole.log('Spawning...')\r\nspawnSync('npm',['install','./pkg','--verbose'], {stdio:'inherit', timeout:1000*3})\r\nconsole.log('spawner bye')\r\n```\r\nand make the package preinstall script for `pkg` to hang (via long `setTimeout` that will make it busy)\r\n3. Expect `ETIMEOUT`, but get nothing\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/aviadhahami","@type":"Person","name":"aviadhahami"},"datePublished":"2022-07-06T15:54:49Z","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/43704"}
