Why I am getting error while Promoting Second Generation Package with dependent packages?

Question

UPDATE: Facing the same issue even without package dependency.

I am trying to promote a Pkg2 with a dependent package Pkg1. Both packages are 2nd generation manage package in the same namespace. I am able to create the Beta package with dependency but when running sfdx force:package:promote it shows following error:

The Subscriber Package Version Id or Package Version Id: 0HoXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX isn't defined in the sfdx-project.json. Add it to the packageDirectories section and add the alias to packageAliases with its 04t or 05i ID.

Following is my sfdx-project.json file.

{
    "packageDirectories": [
        {
            "path": "force-app",
            "default": true,
            "package": "Pkg2",
            "versionName": "ver 0.1",
            "versionNumber": "0.1.0.NEXT",
            "dependencies": [
                {
                    "package": "Pkg1",
                    "versionNumber": "0.2.0.LATEST"
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    "namespace": "MyNameSpace",
    "sfdcLoginUrl": "https://login.salesforce.com",
    "sourceApiVersion": "48.0",
    "packageAliases": {
        "Pkg1": "0HoXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
        "Pkg2": "0HoXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
        "Pkg2@0.1.0-1": "04t7F000005EwwvQAC"
    }
}

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

Though documentation says -p received package id, you need to use version id. So, in your case that would be -p 04t7F000005EwwvQAC

Answer 2

You should use the package version id (04xxx), or the packageAlias from your sfdx-project.json under packageAliases.

In your example, should looks like:

sfdx force:package:version:promote -p Pkg2@0.1.0-1 -v devhubalias

or

sfdx force:package:version:promote -p 04t7F000005EwwvQAC -v devhubalias
