I’m having issues with my monorepo deployment using app platform. I’m using yarn workspaces to manage dependencies. When running a new deploy and using the node_modules cache, the build fails with missing modules.
My monorepo folder structure is basically like this:
apps/
server/
web/
packages/
common/
yarn.lock
I’m using turborepo to manage the build pipeline, so I use the root directory as source_dir. Each app runs as a service in my app, with build command like this yarn build --scope="<app>" --include-dependencies, which builds local dependencies before building the app.
Whenever the cache layer is restored, the following build fails with missing node_modules. I can work around this issue by simply forcing a redeploy without cache, but it is kind of tedious.
I wonder if there is some general caching issue with yarn workspaces? Haven’t been able to find anything in documentation suggesting another configuration. Could work on a reproducible repo if there is no immediate suspicion.
