Git submodule package.json dependencies

In our project we have multiple git submodules, which have their own package.json definition. The main package.json has definition like this:

  "dependencies": {
    "react": "15.4.2",
    "submodule_1": "client/submodule_1",
    "submodule_2": "client/submodule_2",
  },

The file structure of the project is something like this:

   root_project
   |-client
   |    |-submodule_1
   |    |   '--package.json
   |    '-submodule_2
   |        '--package.json
   '-package.json

So on npm install we have a all necessary modules downloaded. The problem is that electron does not package the submodule dependencies to the final installer. Is there a way to build the electron app with the dependencies from nested git submodules?

@bradydowling My comment is not relevant anymore. Please file a new issue (thanks for project) to be not forgotten

I’m having this issue with and without asar packaging. I’ll dig into it more with asar enabled but @develar what do you mean by “use default”?

Here’s the repo I’ve spun up.
