test-electron-builder

A stripped-down example that shows an oddity in the electron packaging logic with yarn workspaces:

Steps to reproduce:

• Install the dependencies:

yarn

• Open the example application and check the vscode-uri version at runtime. Due to the saved yarn.lock, you should see 1.0.8.

yarn --cwd ./examples/app start

• Package the electron application with electron-builder and run it. You will see, the vscode-uri version is 2.1.1.

yarn --cwd ./examples/app package

Oddity:

Executing yarn why vscode-uri shows, the dependency hoisting is correct.

yarn why vscode-uri
yarn why v1.15.2

• The older version (1.0.8) of vscode-uri was correctly hoisted to the top level node_modules folder as both package-a and package-b has a hard dependency on it. Check the version in ./node_modules/vscode-uri/package.json.
• The more recent version (2.1.1) of vscode-uri was correctly not hoisted. Check version in node_modules/vscode-json-languageserver/node_modules/vscode-uri/package.json.
• The electron-builder does not seem to respect semver and the yarn workspace, and pulls in the incorrect (2.1.1.) version of vscode-uri into the bundled electron application.
