Can't depend on workspace packages

[scinos]

What version of Bun is running?

0.6.14

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 21.6.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create package.json with:

{
  "name": "bun-workspaces",
  "module": "index.ts",
  "type": "module",
  "workspaces": [
    "packages/b"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "b": "workspace:*"
  }
}

Then packages/b/package.json with:

{
  "name": "b",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "module": "index.ts",
  "type": "module"
}

What is the expected behavior?

Running bun i in the root of the project should work, and I should have node_modules/b symlinked to packages/b

What do you see instead?

Fails with the error:

bun install v0.6.14 (b5665739)


error: Workspace name "b" already exists
{
^
/Users/sergio/src/experiments/bun-workspaces/package.json:1:1 0

Additional information

It works if I remove the dependency on b in package.json. But it goes against what other package managers do, and agains the docs in https://bun.sh/docs/install/workspaces

Also, it doesn't matter if I depend on b: "*", b: "1.0.0" or any other variant, I always get the same error regarding duplicated workspace.

This still fails when using

  "dependencies": {
    "b": "workspace:^"
  }

But works when using:

  "dependencies": {
    "b": "workspace:*"
  }

Not sure if this is a bug, or expected behaviour.

Raised the problem with workspace:^ as a separate issue in #3686
