[BUG] Tilde package version is not changing after update in package.json

almasipatrik commented 2 years ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

[X] I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

Install express version: 4.17.0
Use tilde (~) instead of caret (^)
Run npm install express
Express version in package.json not changed, it's 4.17.0 but 4.17.3 in package.lock

Expected Behavior

Install express version: 4.17.0
Use tilde (~) instead of caret (^)
Run npm install express
Express version in package.json is 4.17.3 and it's match with package.lock express version

If you use a carat, does package.json change? Typically npm update doesn’t change package.json, i think.

I changed the issue description from npm update to npm install.

When I tried to run npm install for a caret defined package then the version changed in package.json and package.lock, but when I did the same with tilde then the version was the same in package.json but package.lock was updated with the new one.

npm / cli
