Nexus setup as npmjs.com proxy but missing latest versions of packages

Hi

When I request a package from our Nexus Proxy for something that I can find on npmjs.com it is often the case that the latest version on npmjs.com is 1-3 days old but that latest version is not present in my Nexus Proxy.

How does Nexus deal with updating versions of packages?

  • Does it work on a timing basis?
  • Am I able to force it update for a particular package and version?
  • Does it recognise that I am asking for a package version that’s newer than the version already stored so it should then go and download it?

Currently I just get ECONNCT issues or 404 when asking Nexus for the latest verson.

Any help greatly received as this type of thing really slows down my development cadance.

Thanks, Mark
