Does not link nested dependencies when they are inside the root node_modules folder

See original GitHub issue

I have a repository that is getting packages from a monorepo and those packages depend on each other. But no matter what I do I’m not able to use linklocal to link those subpackages of the package that I’m importing.

Here is an example:

MainApp dependencies -> packageA

packageA dependencies : -> packageB

if I run the following inside the MainApp only node_modules/packageA gets linked not node_modules/packageB linklocal --named packageA packageB

If I run it with the recursive flag it only links the node_modules/packageA/node_modules/packageB not node_modules/packageB

Should it not also link packageB when the recursive flag is set?

I created a test repo: https://github.com/spoldman/linklocal-test and I think this is a Yarn only issue. Because everything works fine with NPM. Looks like Yarn puts package-b inside the MainApp/node_modules folder but npm does not. I tested both using workspaces and not and both cases resulted in yarn putting package-b inside MainApp/node_modules folder.

MainApp/node_modules

Steps to reproduce

./packages run: yarn install ./MainApp run: yarn install ./MainApp run: linklocal -r --named package-a package-b …/packages/libs

Notice that only package-a get liked inside MainApp/node_modules

I’m using Yarn 1.9.4
