Changesets Configuration for Monorepo with Single Package Versioning #169

Closed josephfusco closed 2 months ago

josephfusco commented 3 months ago

Context

The repository is structured as a monorepo with multiple packages under the plugins directory. The root package.json includes a workspaces field to leverage monorepo benefits for development.

Issue

The goal is to use Changesets to manage versioning and releases only for the root package (package.json) and not for the individual workspace packages.
Configuring Changesets to ignore all workspace packages results in failures because Changesets requires at least one package to manage.
Explicitly ignoring every package or using glob patterns to ignore them all causes the process to fail.

Attempted Workarounds

A dummy package (dummy-package) was created to satisfy Changesets' requirement for at least one package.
The dummy package has a package.json with a clear description of its purpose.
The dummy package was picked up however I want to only bump the version of the root package.

Closing this as handling plugins via webpack is working well here https://github.com/wp-graphql/wpgraphql-ide/pull/172.
