Codesandbox-client: devDependencies in package.json doesn't seem to be processed
馃悰 bug report: devDependencies not being fetched
Description of the problem
It seems that devDependencies aren't being fetched. Here's an example project that has "cross-fetch": "2.2.0", in devDependencies. If I move cross-fetch up to dependencies, it works just fine.
How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
This generally affects my testing process. I'd like to keep packages like fetch-mock in devDependencies instead of dependencies as I have to do at the moment.

Yeah, this is something we really need to add soon.
The biggest initial reason was to lower downloaded bundle size, as there are many projects with >20 dev dependencies and only using one dependency.
The way to fix it is to check during the initialization which devDependencies are used in the code and include those to the request. This means adding an extra pass during transpilation to the bundling. I will play a bit with this this month, in the meantime you can use a Server Sandbox to make it work.

@CompuIves was this ever fixed? Or is this a wontfix for now?

For now, but I recently refactored our dependency installation with this in mind, so we're much closer to supporting this.
The biggest challenge is statically analyzing which dependencies are needed, and only installing those. Once we have that it will be both performant and consistent.
