latest version on npm does not match latest version on github

[kevin-smets]

At the time of writing, npm should list v0.35.1 as latest version. However, on https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-prebuilt, it lists 0.34.4 as latest release.

For some reason, npm i -D electron-prebuilt works just dandy, it installs v0.35.1 and saved the proper tag in my package.json.

But running npm info electron-prebuilt returns nothing at all. This causes problems for other modules like npm-check-updates...

Yes this happens when Electron publishes new versions of old releases. I tried to solve it once before but apparently that doesn't work. If anyone has ideas for what to try next I'm all 👂s

This is an issue with npm's website. The ideal thing would be for npm to provide a way to view a list of all versions on the site, but alas no such feature exists. Also their website is not open source any more, so you can't submit a PR to improve the state of things. The best you can do is open an issue at https://github.com/npm/www/issues

In the meantime, you can always see a full list of versions for any package with this command:

npm show electron-prebuilt versions
