[Bug]: Cannot install packages with pnpm v9

[andershagbard]

Getting this error when running pnpm install in the main branch.

ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION  No matching version found for @shopify/[email protected]

This error happened while installing a direct dependency of /Users/anderssogaard/Projects/shopify-cli/packages/app

The latest release of @shopify/theme is "3.58.2".

[andershagbard]

It's not just @shopify/theme, which has an incorrect version. There are a few others.

I am also getting this error, which seems to be a blocker for community contributions.

@shopify/ui-extensions-test-utils is not in the npm registry, or you have no permission to fetch it.

Hi! The @shopify/cli package now includes theme and ui-extensions-test-utils, so you only need that one.

You can find more information here: https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/cli-for-apps#switch-to-a-global-executable-or-local-dependency

@gonzaloriestra It is still not fixed.

Steps to replicate:

1. Forge this (https://github.com/Shopify/cli) repository
2. Run pnpm install

[gonzaloriestra]

It works for me. Could you share the output?

• git clone https://github.com/Shopify/cli
• cd cli
• pnpm install

Getting this error following your exact steps. Could you have some Shopify exclusive npm token? Because 3.70.0 is not released on npmjs

Oops, you are right. Let us investigate...

[andershagbard]

Keep in mind it's the unreleased versions, and @shopify/ui-extensions-test-utils not registered at all on npmjs. Maybe more

[gonzaloriestra]

Are you using pnpm v9? I think that's the issue. It only works with v8 for now, as explained here.

We are not releasing other packages than cli, because that one now includes the rest. Pnpm must take the dependencies locally, and that only works with v8.

[andershagbard]

Makes sense. I think this can be fixed by adding link-workspace-packages=true to .npmrc then.

This works for pnpm 9. I have not tested other versions or package managers.

[gonzaloriestra]

Thanks for the suggestion! 👏

I've created a PR to enable it, so PNPM v9 is also compatible.
