Package messages are shown only at startup

[hpawe01]

I had the wired problem, that in some projects the messages in the package.json file are only shown on startup. If I reopen this file later, the messages are not visible anymore (and they don't show up after some seconds).

In the extensions details I saw, that there was an uncaught error in the runtime status:

A more detailed error log pointed me at the position where this error occured:

And after cloning the extension and debugging this behavior I realized, that there is a bug in the extension when there is a large ungzipped repsonse (e.g. when asking for security advisory from NPM) which results in a corrupt JSON string that is not parsable.

This bug is fixed with the pull request #31.

@rentalhost @mskelton could you please merge this when you get a chance?

I am getting a similar error SyntaxError: Unexpected token ... is not valid JSON. I guess it will be fixed with the same fix. Unfortunately, this extension is probably no longer maintained, as the last update was almost 2 years ago.

@hpawe01 @richterdennis Hello! Some time ago, I forked this plugin to include these fixes and new features (such as support for pnpm, monorepos, multiple workspaces, peerDependencies, optionalDependencies, and more). The current version of this plugin is already a collaboration between me and the original author, but I decided to create a new fork to implement some new ideas more quickly.
