question(config): how to pin local packages to "workspace:*"? (2)

[clabnet]

Description

On a pnpm monorepo I have dependency as "@pomini-apps/shared": "workspace:*", that point at package with the current version on the workspace. Maintain the assignment `"workspace:*"' is useful to avoid frequently changes to version number.

Suggested Solution

For this case don't change the version as current dependency version, but maintain the assignment "workspace:*"

This still works on version 11.2.1 . So it seems to be a bug introduced afterwards.

I can confirm the wrong behaviour on v12.3.0.

Thanks both, yes this is a regression in v12. I'm a bit surprised as I added a test for this scenario [1] after it had happened in a previous version, obviously I've missed something and this is a new scenario I don't have covered.

Will it be easy to reproduce? What can you tell me about your situations?

[JamieMason]

Right, this isn't the bug I thought it was (the one whose test I linked).

I'm pretty sure this will be a configuration issue. I don't have a reproduction from you so for now please see this similar issue question(config): how to pin local packages to "workspace:*"? particularly this comment.
