I run:

➜ npm outdated         
npm ERR! Not implemented yet

I updated npm to the latest:

➜ npm i npm -g                                                                                       
/Users/itspare/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.1/bin/npx -> /Users/itspare/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.1/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npx-cli.js
/Users/itspare/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.1/bin/npm -> /Users/itspare/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.1/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
+ npm@6.9.0
updated 1 package in 8.429s

Do you have it on your local machine, docker or Drone CI? It seems like you try it on local machine and I suppose it some issue with nvm/npm in your case, since it 100% works in docker.
