[BUG] symlinked package's dependencies are not resolved

• [ x ] I am on the latest version of Snowpack & all plugins. (“snowpack”: “^3.5.5”)

• [ x] I use package manager npm (Fill in: npm, yarn, pnpm, etc).

• [ x] I run Snowpack on Node.js v12+ (node v14.16.0)

When symlinking a local npm package for local development, Error: Package "react-paginate" not found. Have you installed it?. The react-paginate package is installed in the symlinked npm package but snowpack is not resolving dependencies from the symlinked dir’s node_modules/.

I confirmed this is the case by copying the entire npm package to the snowpack project’s node_modules/ and everything works as expected.

The project is a lerna monorepo with snowpack.config.js:

module.exports = {
  workspaceRoot: '../../',
}

I’m hitting the same error, and the cause appears to be the same as what @crobinson42 assessed: snowpack is not looking within the symlinked dependency’s node_modules folder to find its subdependencies.

As a temporary fix, I am adding the subdependencies of the symlinked package as “dev dependencies” of my user project, but this is of course not ideal.
