Use local package (instead of override local package??)

when i compile the first package i get this error

Reading Spago workspace configuration...

✓ Selecting package to build: tidy-bin

Refreshing the Registry Index...

✘ Could not solve the package dependencies, errors:
  No versions found in the registry for language-cst-parser in range
  >=0.14.1 seen in tidy-bin@0.0.0
  <0.15.0 seen in tidy-bin@0.0.0

when i remove the version constraint part : ">=0.14.1 <0.15.0" the error stays the same.

Does this feature work in such a way that a package has to be in the registry first before you can use it as local package? Meaning a true "override" and not just "use local package"? It would be nice if one could use local packages without them being in the registry.

I think the problem is that tidy-bin is a separate package, contained in tidy, and it's a dependency of tidy but it also depends on language-cst-parser.

I was able to get it to build with these changes:

./purescript-tidy/spago.yaml

• Remove version dependency for language-cst-parser
• Add language-cst-parser and tidy-bin to extraPackages:

  workspace:
    extraPackages:
      language-cst-parser:
        path: ../purescript-language-cst-parser
      tidy-bin:
        path: bin

./purescript-tidy/bin/spago.yaml

• Remove version dependency for language-cst-parser
• Add language-cst-parser to extraPackages:

  workspace:
    extraPackages:
      language-cst-parser:
        path: ../../purescript-language-cst-parser
