Regression: pnpm link with workspace references fails

[thantos]

pnpm version: 8.6.0

Code to reproduce the issue:

https://github.com/functionless/eventual/blob/main/apps/tests/aws-runtime/scripts/test-create

Test script that links workspace packages over a local install.

Expected behavior:

link should succeed. It succeeded with 8.5.1 and has worked since 6.* at least.

https://github.com/functionless/eventual/actions/runs/5100583453/jobs/9169107938#step:4:23

Actual behavior:

Github action picked up the latest 8.6.0 and now throws this error:

 ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND  In ../../../../../packages/@eventual/core-runtime: "@eventual/core@workspace:^" is in the dependencies but no package named "@eventual/core" is present in the workspace

https://github.com/functionless/eventual/actions/runs/5104922608/jobs/9176183671?pr=379#step:4:25

Additional information:

• node -v prints: 18.16.0
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: Linux, Github Actions

Workaround: Pinning the version sam-goodwin/eventual@41a32f6

Also in v7.33.0

ok, can someone create a smaller repository that reproduces the issue. I don't understand what is happening.

This change might be related: #6598

I came to this issue because that happen to me in version 7.1.9.
However, after updating to 8.6.1, the error message was:

 ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND  In : "iris@workspace:*" is in the dependencies but no package named "iris" is present in the workspace

It became clearer that my problem was a bad name in the name field inside the package.json of my package. Updating it solve my issue.

Probably not @thantos issue, but I hope it can help some people and detect false cases.

Hello @zkochan, although it is slightly different from the pnpm link command case, I created a small repository where you can check for ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone prettier-plugin-noop repository.
2. Install dependencies.
3. Run pnpm run build in the packages/prettier-plugin-noop directory.
4. Run npm pack in the packages/prettier-plugin-noop directory.
5. Add the created tarball file path to package.json of the project outside the monorepo.
   (e.g. "prettier-plugin-noop": "file:./prettier-plugin-noop-0.0.0.tgz")
6. Try to install dependencies from that project.

I'm not sure if this is the same error, but I ran npm install -g pnpm;, then tried pnpm install on a client's repository, and I get the error ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND  In : "@speakeasy/nextra-theme@workspace:*" is in the dependencies but no package named "@speakeasy/nextra-theme" is present in the workspace. Is this this bug, or is there some setup step I need to do after installing pnpm please?

I got the same error, did you find a way to resolve it?

What do you mean a name problem? I got the same error.

@zkochan would be cool to get this one on the priority list. currently preventing me from setting up a proper test environment for CI for jsx-email. Looks like #6603 (comment) provides a solid reproduction.

Just got the same ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND  In : "@swc/types@workspace:^" is in the dependencies but no package named "@swc/types" is present in the workspace out of the blue after trying to upgrade packages with pnpm latest.
