[bug] Using a version range with conan install -u leads to an error in case of empty package cache

I am having an empty Conan package cache resp. the package I want to install is not available in the local package cache. When I now type in

conan install pkgname/[^3.0.0]@ci/stable -o ... -o ... -u

I get following error message:

ERROR: Version range '^3.0.0' from requirement 'pkgname/[^3.0.0]@ci/stable' required by 'virtual' could not be resolved in local cache Looking at the official docs of the -u option this behavior to me seems like a bug since it says that the remote is checked for the newest version matching the version range.

I am using Conan version 1.49

PS. When I leave out the -u it is working in case a version range matching package is available in the first remote from my configured list of remotes.

Hi @MTomBosch,

I could not reproduce the issue. What I did is:

• Create several packages in the range that I upload to a local repo
• Clear the cache
• Do the conan install pkgname/[^3.0.0]@ci/stable -u

But the range is resolved for me if there's a package in the range in the local repository.

Am I missing something?

By the way, which Artifactory version are you using.

Thanks a lot.

I am using Conan version 1.39 locally where I got the issue. After updating to 1.51 I still get it. The Artifactory that we are using is the currently available JFrog Cloud solution. What version that is under the hood I do not know.

Here is also my conan.conf file:

run_to_output = True        # environment CONAN_LOG_RUN_TO_OUTPUT
run_to_file = False         # environment CONAN_LOG_RUN_TO_FILE

Closing this as outdated, I think this shouldn't be an issue in Conan 2, but please create new tickets as necessary, thanks!
