Root Directory Not Properly Indentified

[keithlee2010]

This package is used as a dependency with Nuxt. When importing file outside the project root on a windows machine the 'readNearestPackageJSON ' function enters an infinite loop. Running the same code in Linux does not present the problem. The exit condition of the while loop is never met because root directory is misidentified. The root is 'C:' (not '/'). The solution is finding the root directory agnostic of the OS. Perhaps something like this:

path.parse(process.cwd()).root

Current Function:

export function readNearestPackageJSON (path: string): PackageJson | undefined {
  while (path && path !== '.' && path !== '/') {
    path = join(path, '..')
    try {
      const pkg = readFileSync(join(path, 'package.json'), 'utf-8')
      try {
        return JSON.parse(pkg)
      } catch {}
      break
    } catch {}
  }
}

Possible Updated Function:

export function readNearestPackageJSON (path: string): PackageJson | undefined {

  const root = path.parse(process.cwd()).root;
  while (path && path !== '.' && path !== root) {
    path = join(path, '..')
    try {
      const pkg = readFileSync(join(path, 'package.json'), 'utf-8')
      try {
        return JSON.parse(pkg)
      } catch {}
      break
    } catch {}
  }
}

Thanks for reporting issue and sorry took long to address. Using unjs/pathe to fix. It handles join('C:\\', '..') to be /.
