This PR fixes a bug where running
npm pack <package-spec>immediately followingnpm publishin the same environment (like a GitHub Actions workflow) results in anETARGETerror ("No matching version found").When
npm publishruns, the remote registry updates, but any previous registry requests may causepacoteto cache the older packument locally. Whennpm packruns right after, it reads that stale local cache which lacks the newly published version, skipping the remote fetch entirely.To fix this, I've added
preferOnline: trueto the fetch configurations in lib/commands/pack.js (specifically to thepacote.manifest()andlibpack()calls). This ensuresnpm packpasses acache: 'no-cache'configuration down to the registry fetcher, forcing an online re-validation that bypasses the local max-age cache and successfully locates the newly published tarball. This aligns pack's cache behavior withnpm view.References
