Electron-builder: Symbolic linked dependency's node_modules is not included in ASAR

[guiguan]

• Version: 19.16.1

• Target: mac --dir

If the dependency listed in package.json is a symbolic link, for example, created by yarn link, then that dependency's node_modules is not included in final ASAR, which made target app unable to run. This worked in electron-builder 19.10.0

I have the same problem after running lerna bootstrap or npm link xx.

Consider to use yarn workspaces as workaround.

[dgeibi]

Yarn workspaces didn't help. Symbolic linked dependency's dependencies can't be found.

Yarn placed the symbolic linked sub-packages' dependencies in the parent project's root directory's node_modules, and I think they should be resolved like regular packages.

• yarn: v1.0.1
• electron-builder: v19.28.1
• Target: AppImage

I hope it is fixed now.

@develar, this is still a problem for me. Dependencies which were symbolically linked via yarn link do not get packaged.
