deno run with npm specifier should resolve scopes in deno.json

[sant123]

Hi, I'm not sure if this is currently possible but take a look on this script:

deno run --allow-read --allow-env --allow-sys npm:@swc/cli/swc compile-me.ts

The @swc/cli module has a peer dependency to @swc/core, currently is resolving the latest version and is fine for me.

However in the case I should need a different @swc/core version how can I do it?

I have tried this in my deno.json:

{
  "scopes": {
    "@swc/cli/swc": {
      "@swc/core": "npm:@swc/[email protected]"
    }
  }
}

But still resolves the latest version @swc/[email protected], not @swc/[email protected].

In case you need it, this is the content of compile-me.ts file:

export function add(a: number, b: number) {
    return a + b;
}

Thanks.

I think #18191 would cover this?

FWIW, you can hackily force this behaviour at the moment by modifying a lockfile.

Ohh there is an issue already, @dsherret how can I do it with the lockfile? However the deno.json file has lock: false so there is no deno.lock in my directory.

Closing as dupe of #18191

But hopefully @dsherret can respond regardless 😀
