Hey! I have a yarn workspaces monorepo with packages/frontend and packages/backend directories and I just want to deploy packages/backend. I already defined the source_dir so it points to it but then DO can’t find a yarn.lock because it only exists at the root and not in packages/backend.
How can I configure it so it can find the yarn.lock at the root but only deploys the packages/backend directory?

Hi @rudolphmarvin,
If you want to deploy the code present in packages/backend folder, specifying the source_dir with the folder name(packages/backend) is the right way. When you specify the source_dir that becomes the current working directory for your applications and only the files present in that folder are considered.
Since yarn.lock is not present in the packages/backend and app does not have access to the trailing folders(root folder of your repo), it is not found. In order for it to be detected, please ensure that the package.json, yarn.lock and other necessary files are present in the current folder(packages/backend) in this case.
In case you have any doubts, please reach out to our support team and we’d be glad to help.
Cheers, Taha Fatima
