Running wireit command from outside local folder fails to find dependencies

[thekevinscott]

You know, I tried to create a repo from scratch to demonstrate the issue, and can't seem to reproduce this; and my original circumstance is now lost to the sands of time.

I'm happy to close, and if it comes up again I'll make sure to post with an actual repo reproduction this time! :D

im not very familiar with pnpm but why not just just specify packages/foo:build as a dependency of the root build command? Then when you run build from the root directory it will first run the build command in foo.

pnpm --filter is doing some heavy lifting; it lets you glob like:

pnpm --filter "@foo/*" build

That'll run build in every package that starts with @foo/; in a monorepo with lots of packages that's a nice alternative to manually specifying each one.

I don't think there's a way to reproduce behavior like that via a dependency?

If you run 'pnpm --filter foo build' directly from the root does it work? I am also curious because in all other examples I have seen the actual command being specified in the wireit config should be your actual command.
