force:org:create fails claiming ancestor is not released, when ancestor is released.

[triestelaporte]

Summary

We've been releasing new versions of a package and since upgrading from 7.45.1 to 7.47.0 we can no longer use force:org:create. The error:

The ancestor package version [1.17.0] specified in the sfdx-project.json file hasn't been promoted and released. Release the ancestor package version before specifying it as the ancestor in a new package or patch version.

We can easily see that 1.17.0 has been released in the version list. Using --noancestors option makes this error go away, but it feels like a bug.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Build a sfdx-project.json with version 0.1, build beta package, release it.
2. Update sfdx-project.json with version 0.2, and specify 0.1 as ancestorVersion.
3. Attempt to use force:org:create without --noancestors, and error should show up.

Expected result

We should be able to spin up new scratch orgs and see a success message here. Using CLI version 7.45.1 has this good result.

Actual result

We see error message indicating a released version is not actually released.

I just tested with force:package:version:create and the same error pops. Since --noancestors is not an option on beta package creation this one is a bigger deal.

@triestelaporte I am letting both the packaging and environments teams know of your issue

[vinodr]

Is there a workaround for this, other than downgrading the CLI? Still getting the error using CLI version 7.52.0.

[vinodr]

I found that using ancestorId instead of ancestorName is working.

I've filed W-7937860 to keep track of this internally.

Hi @triestelaporte @vinodr - I know this issue has been open for a few years, with a few internal tickets created, and closed, I'm reaching out to verify if this has been fixed, or if it's still an issue?

[triestelaporte]

I don't think so. Has been off our radar for a while over here.
