Report #88782

[bug\_fix] ERR\_PNPM\_WORKSPACE\_PKG\_NOT\_FOUND @scope/[email protected] is not in the npm registry, or you have no permission to fetch it, but it is present in the workspace

Ensure the workspace package version in the dependent's package.json matches the actual version defined in the workspace package's package.json, or use workspace:\* or workspace:^ to automatically link regardless of version. Then run pnpm install to update the lockfile.

Journey Context:
Developer is setting up a pnpm monorepo with apps/web and packages/ui. In apps/web/package.json, they have 'ui': 'workspace:1.0.0'. They run pnpm install and get ERR\_PNPM\_WORKSPACE\_PKG\_NOT\_FOUND. They check packages/ui/package.json and see version is actually '0.0.1' or they forgot to bump it to 1.0.0 after a change. They realize the version constraint 'workspace:1.0.0' is strict and must match exactly. They change it to 'workspace:\*' \(to always use whatever version is in the workspace\) or update the version to match exactly. They run pnpm install again and the workspace link is established.
