Fails to create patch file for complex package version

Thanks for your work on this! I really hope we can start using it in our project. We are currently using a canary build of a package, gatsby-source-contentful and installing it using a non-standard version. However, when I try to create a patch, there is a failure finding associated data in the lock file.

$ yarn patch-package gatsby-source-contentful
yarn run v1.22.5
$ /Users/davidhouse/Code/sandbox/frontend/butcherbox-frontend/node_modules/.bin/patch-package gatsby-source-contentful
patch-package 6.2.2

It also fails if I try to supply the explicit version as it is shown in the lock file:

I got this same “Can’t find lockfile entry” error in a slightly different situation. patch-package 6.2.2

I’ve installed a package directly from a github tarball - here’s what it looks like in package.json:

"mdx-prism": "https://github.com/doamatto/mdx-prism/archive/v0.3.2.tar.gz",

That package has an entry in yarn.lock like this:

"mdx-prism@https://github.com/doamatto/mdx-prism/archive/v0.3.2.tar.gz":
  version "0.3.1"
  resolved "https://github.com/doamatto/mdx-prism/archive/v0.3.2.tar.gz#cd4d6240dbd67031f3f8c56304d3dd034e447f25"
  dependencies:
    ...

Note the version "0.3.1" there - the project’s package.json file says the version is 0.3.1+fork.0.1.0: https://github.com/doamatto/mdx-prism/blob/22ca7f91cc3e86096d0ff5bf20cb511ad00b028c/package.json#L3 That mismatch might be a yarn bug? Not sure

Anyway, running yarn run patch-package mdx-prism gives me the same error message as in the OP. I manually changed the version in yarn.lock to "0.3.1+fork.0.1.0" and the error went away, yay! It successfully generates a patch file called mdx-prism+0.3.1+fork.0.1.0.patch.

Unfortunately, I get a version mismatch warning when applying the patch, but it’s good enough for me since everything still works in CI:

Warning: patch-package detected a patch file version mismatch

  Don't worry! This is probably fine. The patch was still applied
  successfully. Here's the deets:

  Patch file created for

    mdx-prism@0.3.1+fork.0.1.0

  applied to

    mdx-prism@0.3.1
  
  At path...

TLDR: make sure the version in yarn.lock matches what’s in the dependency’s package.json and maybe you’ll have better luck with patching

try remove node_modules, then npm install
