yalc publish error in monorepo, "path" argument must be string

[MitchPierias]

I'm receiving a "path" error when running yalc publish --private from within a monorepo setup.

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type undefined

Exception

What is --private?

[MitchPierias]

@whitecolor yalc publish on a monorepo using yarn workspaces (packages set to private) outputs

Will not publish package with `private: true` use --private flag to force publishing.

So I ran with --private

yalc publish --private

And received the "path" error

[MitchPierias]

Error was because version was not specified in package.json which cause the path construction to fail in the copy script.

Validation needed for required version and name fields within the copyPackageToStore() function in copy.ts

[slikts]

I ran into this because the version property isn't used when publishing with semantic-release.

Ran into this again with a different package and had to go through googling again. This issue shouldn't be closed.

[danielcnascimento]

I tried to add any version, as mentioned above, but it still doesn't work.

As of Yalc 1.0.0-pre.53, in an ordinary repo:

• Without neither name nor verson: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
• With only name: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
• With only version: Package manifest path/to/package.json should contain name and version.
• With both name and verson: Works.
