NPM install fails: @finsweet/attributes depends on unpublished @finsweet/attributes-list (404)

[robertroelu]

Related Attributes
@finsweet/attributes (v2.6.16)

Describe the bug
Installing @finsweet/attributes fails because its dependency @finsweet/attributes-list cannot be fetched from the npm registry. Looks like the dependency isn’t published (or isn’t public), which blocks installation.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I run: pnpm i @finsweet/attributes
2. Error: ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404 GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@finsweet%2Fattributes-list: Not Found - 404

Expected behavior
@finsweet/attributes installs successfully; all referenced dependencies are available on npm.

Environment
OS: macOS 14.6

Hi there, I ran into a similar problem running npm install @finsweet/attributes. You could try installing from github with npm install github:finsweet/attributes, that worked for me.

However, I don't think this repo is ready to use as a package yet, as there are no simplified exports and internal imports / dependencies are not functioning correctly when using it as a package. My bundler failed trying to build the project,

I tried using it as a package recently, but found that it requires a lot of setup to actually use for non general purposes. So unless you want to use this for something very specific, which is not covered by the cdn version, I would suggest you stick to the cdn version.

Hope this helps! All the best,
Lukas

PS: Finsweet, I hope you're preparing this repo for use cases as a dependency in node projects. That would be so useful! Lmk if I can help.

This issue is probably related to issue #638. Alex said, they're not exporting the internal modules correctly.

Thanks for sharing this! I agree since the dependency isn’t available on npm, it’s simply not possible to install or use it as a package right now. This makes it tricky when you need to load a specific module directly. Hopefully, they’ll sort out the exports and publish the missing package soon.

No worries, happy to help. I will +1 you on this! would love to see this repo ready to use as a package.
