`lerna bootstrap` tries to build dependency in the wrong order, so dependent build fails

It appears that lerna links a local project A into a local project B, but does not run the build step of project A before it tries to build project B, so project B’s build fails because it can not resolve the modules from project A because it does not have its dist folder.

Expected Behavior

Lerna should build A before B.

Current Behavior

Lerna doesn’t, and so B’s build fails.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

git clone --recursive [e-mail]:infamous/umbrella.git
cd umbrella
git checkout lerna-issue-2453
lerna bootstrap

lerna.json

{
        "packages": ["apps/*", "packages/*"],
        "version": "independent"
}

lerna-debug.log

None.

Context

I was trying out lerna for the first time in an existing repo that has multiple projects. Each project is a git submodule.

Could the fact that the projects I have in apps/* and packages/* are git submodules be throwing of Lerna’s build algo?

Your Environment

Executable	Version

This is what I’ve been using successfully for the last years to run prepare scripts in the right order: https://gist.github.com/ShishKabab/51ae7b6aab9292f865de0ee238c26052

So, is there a workaround for this issue? I’m manually installing and building the “primitive” packages first and then running yarn lerna bootstrap to build all packages without problems. 😢
