No Version Matching: A Comprehensive Guide to Resolving the Issue

As a developer, encountering errors while working on a project can be frustrating and time-consuming. One such error is the "No version matching" issue, which can occur when trying to install a specific version of a package using a package manager like bun. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, explore its causes, and provide a step-by-step guide to resolving it.

The "No version matching" error occurs when the package manager is unable to find a matching version of the specified package. In the given example, the error message indicates that the package @stacksjs/stx with version 0.0.6 cannot be found, despite the package existing.

$ bun add bun-plugin-stx
bun add v1.2.15 (df017990)
error: No version matching "0.0.6" found for specifier "@stacksjs/stx" (but package exists)
error: @stacksjs/stx@0.0.6 failed to resolve

To reproduce the issue, simply run the command bun add bun-plugin-stx. This will trigger the error and allow you to investigate further.

The system information provided is crucial in understanding the environment in which the issue occurs. In this case, the system is running on a Darwin 24.5.0 arm64 arm architecture, with bun version 1.2.15+df017990a.

uname -mprs: Darwin 24.5.0 arm64 arm
bun --revision: 1.2.15+df017990a

The package manager used in this scenario is bun, which is a fast and secure package manager for JavaScript.
