LPK-E0603 — this registry never published the dependency

What it means

Publishing places a release into a registry together with everything the release points at. A registry only serves what was published into it, so when the release names a dependency from the same registry that was never published there, the tool refuses before writing anything. Nothing is created or changed by the refusal.

Publishing the dependency first — then the release that names it — is the whole fix.

Example

pkgtest

Fix

pkgtest

{"files": {}, "cmd": ["init", ".", "--name", "demo.diag"]}

Engine message

The tool reports this in its own wording:

Output

law: REFUSAL LPK-E0603: dependency test.dep@0.1.0 declared in registry local but never published there — publish it first
  → publish the dependency before its consumer
