1.23.0-module.beta.1 was mistakenly released under the latest dist-tag

[haoqunjiang]

ζ npm view sass@latest version
1.23.0-module.beta.1

If users install dart sass via npm install sass and use it along with sass-loader, sass-loader's version check will fail.

I want to fix this, but npm dist-tag is giving me bogus 401 error codes. I've reached out to npm support about it.

As an aside, it's baffling to me that this is the default behavior for publishing a pre-release version of a package.

[robertIsaac]

@nex3 any update regarding this?

[nex3]

I haven't heard back from npm support about the npm dist-tag issue.

[vladimiry]

The half-measure: npm deprecate [email protected] "incorrect publishing channel"

[nex3]

Well, I don't want it to be deprecated; it's definitely a valid person I want people to be able to use. I think this will be solved when we release the next stable version, which should be soon.

[vladimiry]

Deprecation doesn't prevent someone to use the version but it would be a clear indication that there is something wrong with the publication.

you should deprecate this version
release it again with a new versionand the correct tag (beta)

[nex3]

Why would deprecating it be better than releasing a new stable version that will take the latest tag?

[robertIsaac]

the time
if you will release a new stable version now then it would be perfect
but till you do so a lot of people would use a beta version as it's stable

[nex3]

It's no faster to release a new version of the beta than it is to release a new version of the stable release.

i meant to release the old version again
i mean checkout the commit that was released and just build run the npm publish command

[nex3]

I'm pretty sure npm forbids re-releasing a version that's already been uploaded.

i missed to say change the npm version

so here is what i meant
checkout the commit that was released and just bump the version number, build and run the npm publish command

[nex3]

Once we have to bump the package version, it's not trivial to release a new version.

if you can explain why maybe someone can help

[nex3]

You'll either have to look at our deployment infrastructure, or just take my word for it.

Anyway, we're in the process of releasing a new stable version right now, so this is a moot point.

1.22.12 has been released, so I'm closing this out.
