🌐 Web query:

pnpm 11.9.0 minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime trustPolicy no-downgrade ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME release version 11.23.0

💡 Result:

In pnpm 11, the ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME error occurs when pnpm attempts to verify package metadata against settings like minimumReleaseAge or trustPolicy, but the registry response lacks the required time (publish date) field [1][2]. To manage this, pnpm introduced the minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime setting in v11.0.0 [3][4]. Key details regarding your query: - minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime: This setting is true by default [1][4]. When enabled, pnpm skips the minimumReleaseAge maturity check for packages missing a time field, allowing the installation to proceed instead of failing with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME [1][3]. - pnpm 11.23.0 Update: Prior to v11.23.0, while minimumReleaseAge respected this setting, the trustPolicy: no-downgrade check could still cause an install to fail with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME if the registry lacked publish dates [5]. As of pnpm 11.23.0, trustPolicy now honors the minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime setting [5]. When this setting is active, trustPolicy will skip the affected package and issue a warning instead of aborting the installation [5]. - Configuration: This setting is configured in your pnpm-workspace.yaml file [1][6]: minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime: true If you are encountering this error on a version prior to 11.23.0, upgrading to 11.23.0 or higher is recommended to ensure that the trustPolicy check also gracefully handles missing registry metadata [5]. If you need to force a fail-safe (e.g., to ensure strict adherence to maturity policies), you can set this option to false in your workspace configuration [1][4].

Align the pnpm version with the missing-time policy.

package.json pins this workspace to pnpm@11.9.0. With this version, trustPolicy: no-downgrade can fail with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME when a configured registry omits per-version time metadata. minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime: true does not cover this trust-policy check until pnpm 11.23.0. Upgrade the pin to pnpm 11.23.0 or later, or ensure that every configured registry provides per-version time metadata.

In `@pnpm-workspace.yaml` around lines 8 - 9, Update the workspace’s pnpm
package-manager pin from 11.9.0 to 11.23.0 or later so trustPolicy: no-downgrade
works with minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime: true; keep the existing policy
settings unchanged.
