@bluelovers I got the same issue when I try to publish on merging a feature branch into master in CI environment. It seems to be the conventional-graduate option which makes it failed when you don’t have any prerelease packages yet. I removed it and it works now. I still try to figure out how can I make it work if I want to make prereleases in local environment and ensure all prereleases versioned packages are graduated to stable versions in the next merge. Lerna is still new for me so I would wait for more details from someone who knows it better than me.

You can do something like this if using GitHub workflows:

      - name: Bump Prod Version Graduate
        continue-on-error: true
        id: graduateRelease
        run: yarn lerna version --conventional-graduate --conventional-commits --yes

      - name: Bump Prod Version Fallback
        if: ${{ always() && steps.graduateRelease.outcome == 'failure'  }}
        run: |
          echo Falling back to non-graduate release due to https://github.com/lerna/lerna/issues/2532
          git stash
          yarn lerna version --conventional-commits --yes
