Vue-styleguidist: Problem when installing newest version of `vue-cli-plugin-styleguidist`

[wmartins]

Current behavior

Recently I got a really strange behavior in my build pipeline, saying the following message:

npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for vue-docgen-api@^3.9.0
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.
npm ERR! notarget 
npm ERR! notarget It was specified as a dependency of 'vue-styleguidist'
npm ERR! notarget 

To reproduce

mkdir project
npm init -y
npm install --save-dev vue-cli-plugin-styleguidist@^3.9.2

Expected behavior

I exepected to be able to install this package.

Further investigation

It seems like vue-docgen-api wasn't published in the latest changes:

npm info vue-docgen-api  | grep latest                 
latest: 3.8.2

If you need any other info, just let me know.

As a workaround, if you install dependencies for your VueCLI project with Yarn, you'll be able to install vue-cli-plugin-styleguidist. Yarn will allow you to select a different version.

@marshallswain, the problem is that I'm running this in a CI environment, so, no interactivity to choose the different version.

The only way I could make it work was to force the installation of a fixed version of vue-styleguidist. For example:

npm install --save-dev [email protected] [email protected]

I am on it, I had a little fight with lerna yesterday and I thought I had won. Apparently, Lerna is a very resilient beast... Appropriate I guess.

I appreciate you guys waiting 3.9.3 is out and should be better

Thanks for your effort @elevatebart!

Lerna can be painful sometimes, happy you won that fight!
