[1.3.0] patch-package error during installation "Patch file found for package prompts which is not present at node_modules/prompts"

[andrew-pledge-io]

When installing @figma/code-connect@1.3.0 I receive an error from patch-package:

npm error code 1
npm error path /myproject/node_modules/@figma/code-connect
npm error command failed
npm error command sh -c patch-package
npm error patch-package 8.0.0
npm error Applying patches...
npm error Error: Patch file found for package prompts which is not present at node_modules/@types/prompts
npm error Error: Patch file found for package prompts which is not present at node_modules/prompts
npm error ---
npm error patch-package finished with 2 error(s).

I can't provide a reproduction as it doesn't seem to happen in all environments.

For me it's happening inside a node:20 docker container running in GitLab CI. These are the reported versions:

$ node --version
v20.18.2
$ npm --version
10.8.2

Potential resolution

patch-package doesn't support running in published packages according to the maintainer: ds300/patch-package#84 (comment)

One suggestion is to move patch-package to prepare instead of postinstall:

One way to get around this would be to use prepare instead of postinstall to run patch-package, assuming your patches are only dev related (say patching certain @types/* for local dev).

Hey @andrew-pledge-io, sorry for the trouble here. We're going to revert the change which required patching this package and will release an updated version soon!

I have the same issue with my pipeline. I confirm that rollbacking to 1.2.4 solve the issue

Hi @andrew-pledge-io and @Jintus . The fix is now out in the latest release. I will close this issue.
