We have a monorepo using pnpm workspace, and multiple services are using the graphql package, with different versions.
Trying to compile one service using tsc --explainFiles, I get this:
../../node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected][email protected]/node_modules/apollo-link/lib/index.d.ts
Imported via 'apollo-link' from file '../../somewhere/in/project.ts' with packageId 'apollo-link/lib/[email protected]'
File redirects to file '../../node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected][email protected]/node_modules/apollo-link/lib/index.d.ts'
And the compilation fails due to type mismatches.
Why is this redirection? I checked, and there is no symlink between these files or directories.
tsc already resolved the correct dependency, why redirect to another one?
Checked all versions in package.json, and everything seems to be ok.
When adding to tsconfig.json:
"paths": {
"*": ["node_modules/*"]
}
It fixes the problem, but I have no idea why this prevents the redirect, and what are other implications this might have.
Thanks for the help!
