#validateDependencies doesn't work well with monorepo environment

Hi guys, great library, it definitely saved me some time! ππ»
I encountered one issue while implementing it to the large mono-repo app: the validateDependencies
method does not respect dependencies inheritance. So, if our application has the following structure:
<root>
packages/
someService/package.json
someOtherService/package.json
package.json
and both someService
and someOtherService
inherit the dependencies from the root's package.json. It will exit with process.exit(-1)
and display [preact] Missing/incorrect dependencies.
. That is because neither of these packages has preact, next-plugin-preact, or any required library in the package.json - it is inherited from the root.
What's troubling me is the result of process.cwd()
. It points to packages/someService/
, but we run the start command from the root level, so it might be a bad lerna configuration π€ .
Anyhow, I managed to fix this by replacing join(process.cwd(), 'package.json')
with join(__dirname, '..', '..', 'package.json');
