Are you able to publish a new version of tape?

[IgorTodorovskiIBM]

Node v16 tape v5.3.1 is currently failing in CITGM because https://github.com/substack/tape/commit/bfeabe8694a65802ea1f0b98958dfb0f541668b1 is not yet available.

That commit only affects tape’s tests, so publishing it wouldn’t help anything. Can you elaborate on what failure you’re seeing?

We're seeing this:

When running citgm: https://github.com/nodejs/citgm. CITGM include the latest release of tape in the lookup.json as follows: https://github.com/nodejs/citgm/blob/b73cb0f07188307e0745e09b361c64610f37c5f8/lib/lookup.json#L500

Perhaps a new release needs to be created in github?

[ljharb]

Ah, you didn’t specify citgm. Yes, I’d need to publish a new release for that; I’ll do so today.

[ljharb]

Actual wait - most packages don’t publish their tests (altho all of mine do), can’t citgm be configured to look at the master branch on GitHub? I’d rather not publish a release that doesn’t include any actual changes.

[IgorTodorovskiIBM]

It can be done, are you suggesting that as a temporary solution for us until a new version is published?

[ljharb]

Certainly until then, yes - altho it might be nicer if there was some way to use the latest version of the package, and then git checkout origin/master test or something?
