npm missing the latest @adyen/api-library release: the publish pipeline broke, retry after backfill

TL;DR

If npm shows an older @adyen/api-library than the latest GitHub release, the publish step likely failed on Adyen's side rather than anything in your setup, so check npm show for the version list before debugging your install.

Steps

1. If npm shows an older @adyen/api-library than the latest GitHub release, the publish step likely failed on Adyen's side rather than anything in your setup, so check npm show for the version list before debugging your install. The fix on their end was backfilling the registry, and on yours it is just retrying the install once the version appears. When you need a fix that is merged on GitHub but not yet published, point the dependency at the GitHub tag temporarily rather than waiting.

When to use

You are seeing this: An Adyen maintainer replied that their release pipeline had hit problems with GitHub Secrets and that they would backfill the npm registry. Use this skill when you run into "npm missing the latest @adyen/api-library release: the publish pipeline broke, retry after backfill".

When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

Versions

Versions mentioned in the source: though v15.1.0, no 15.1.0. If you are on something much newer or older, the details may have shifted.

Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.

Source: Issue Adyen/adyen-node-api-library#1295 (closed, 5 comments): npm install --save @adyen/api-library kept resolving to an older version even though v15.1.0 was tagged and released on GitHub, and npm show listed no 15.1.0. Two users confirmed the gap and one noted the GitHub code had a fix they could not get from npm. An Adyen maintainer replied that their release pipeline had hit problems with GitHub Secrets and that they would backfill the npm registry.
