jfrog-cli 2.74.0 (NPM integration): "Error: 8 [Error] failed to parse '{..}' from npm ls output"

[akhter-ali-idexx]

Describe the bug

on github actions, running ubuntu:latest and container node:20, we're executing jf npm ci which successfully runs. However, it runs an npm ls --json afterwards and fails to parse the JSON.

If possible, I'd like to omit npm ls --json entirely since npm ci is successful

Current behavior

jf npm ci executes and successfully downloads all packages
npm ls --json runs and fails to parse the JSON on github actions

Reproduction steps

In github actions, using ubuntu:latest and container node:20, with a large project which include multiple package.json files, execute jf npm ci

Expected behavior

Only jf npm ci to execute and not npm ls --json
