Bootstrap reformats package-lock.json to use tabs instead of spaces

Expected Behavior

runninglerna bootstrap installs packages and builds, if required it updates package-lock entries, it does not reformat package-lock to use a different spacing method.

Current Behavior

runninglerna bootstrap installs packages and builds and changes some of our packages to use tabs instead of spaces thus leading to +10k LOC.

lerna.json

{
  "packages": [
    "packages/*"
  ],
  "version": "0.5.0",
  "command": {
    "publish": {
      "registry": "https://npm.pkg.github.com",
      "npmClientArgs": [
        "--loglevel",
        "silly"
      ]
    },
    "bootstrap": {
      "npmClientArgs": [
        "--legacy-peer-deps"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Context

I’ve been looking around these specific packages but there is nothing to suggest we have any config that would cause npm to reformat it this way. Running npm i in the package dir reformats it back to using spaces so it suggests that it is something happening within lerna that causes the reformat.

Ugh, this is really annoying 🙈. Has anyone already an idea how this should be fixed?

@pachuka Thank you, I’m please to say another community member was able to provide a reproduction already. This will be fixed in the next release of lerna!
