Can't install npm packages anymore due to macOS Big Sur upgrade

问题

After upgrade to macOS Big Sur I can't do npm install with npm older then 7 (so npm v7 is fine). Anytime I'm getting the error message Maximum call stack size exceeded upon clean project folder (without the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file).

I'm tied to use

ProductName:    macOS
ProductVersion: 11.0.1
BuildVersion:   20B50
Darwin: 20.1.0
nodejs v14.15.1
npm version 6.14.8

I tried:

npm cache clean --force

npm rebuild

Install Node manually, by Homebrew, by nvm and also downgrade npm to various lower versions.

Reinstall Homebrew to get fresh background as it was used before upgrade to Big Sur.

Reinstall xcode command-line tools.

Run the node and map the project in the docker container ubuntu:focal.

Couple last lines of the output return by npm install --loglevel verbose:

UPDATE 1

Apple released new system upgrade, what didn't help. ProductVersion: 11.1

I don't think that it is the permissions issue as I set the project to 777 for all chmod -R 777 project.

As far as I know my mates are running npm v6 on Big Sur fine.

In the docker container, I copied the project from the mapped folder to some other folder in the docker container and npm install is working as expected.

Same is happening for Windows 10 running in the VirtualBox, where npm is not working upon shared folder, but works after copy the project to some inner folder in the VirtualBox Windows machine.

Raised an issue in the npm cli issue tracking.

Raised an issue in the docker issue tracking.

Was having the same issue. It was solved by increasing the file's ulimit.

To check what you have right now, do:

ulimit -a

That should display something like this:

-t: cpu time (seconds)              unlimited
-f: file size (blocks)              12288
-d: data seg size (kbytes)          unlimited
-s: stack size (kbytes)             8192
-c: core file size (blocks)         0
-v: address space (kbytes)          unlimited
-l: locked-in-memory size (kbytes)  unlimited
-u: processes                       2784
-n: file descriptors                12288

Then, to increase the file size limit, run the following:
