[Bug]: Additional NPM modules aren't loaded/working after each adapter update

[CC1337]

I'm sure that

• This issue is still present in the current beta version of this adapter
• There is no other (open) issue with the same topic (use the search!)
• This issue is not described in the adapter documentation / FAQ (read the docs!)

Script type

Blockly, Javascript

The problem

I configured additional "NPM Module" in instances, named "simple-ssh" After a JS adapter update it is almost NOT working, I can see these entries in logs (truncated a bit):

javascript.0 | 2024-03-18 11:53:23.334 | error | script.js.common.MYSCRIPT: SSH is not a constructor

The usage is inside blockly having a JS function
var SSH = require('simple-ssh');

A workaround is to REMOVE the NPM module, save and restart javascript adapter, and then add it again.

But if you forget it after update, scripts will just fail :(

I just verified it still happening with Adapter v7.9.1

iobroker.current.log (in debug mode!)

No response

Version of nodejs

And this wasn't the case in previous versions/upgrades? The "additional packages" behaviour wasn't changed in the adapter since several month/years.

Hey Matthias, the issue persists since I am using it (maybe a year), so it might be since years.

Just as a link:
https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/73531/adapter-update-f%C3%BChrt-zu-neukompilieren-des-npm-moduls

Seems that any installation kicks additional npm modules. Don't know wether this realted in any way but I want to note it.
