What's the problem this PR addresses?
Yarn doesn't work inside workspaces with
"type": "module"
.Fixes #985
How did you fix it?
Switch the yarn releases from
.js
to.cjs
file extension. This marks the file as always being CommonJS, regardless of the surrounding workspace's type.The same change should be done in yarn v1, given that a lot of people will keep using v1 as global yarn for the foreseeable future.
Future work?
Right now we store the PnP file as
.pnp.js
for regular workspaces, and as.pnp.cjs
for workspaces markedtype=module
. There are some downsides to this approach:.pnp.js
file, they will need to also check for.pnp.cjs
.yarn && yarn pnpify --sdk
and reload your IDE.Always using
.pnp.cjs
removes these downsides.
