No version in package.json

[Swader]

The current package.json has no version or name fields. These would be irrelevant in all cases, except that Yarn depends on them to be able to install the package locally from a specific branch, tag, or commit or even local folder. Thus, it is impossible to test local fixes from other contributors without silly workarounds like manually hacking package.json in the fork.

Reference issue: yarnpkg/yarn#6195

If I'm using the wrong approach, please let me know of a better way to test things (specifically, I'm testing a bounty: https://gitcoin.co/issue/vuejs/vuepress/1613/3333)

Hello @Swader can you give us a reproduction in what you want to achieve please. Actually the version of the global package is in packages/*package.json or in lerna.json.

Give me a complete step to reproduce here please

I was trying to install Vuepress from a locally cloned branch to use that one, but you gave me a better method so I'll close this.
