[Bug]: npm dependencies update in an o3r generated project are not handled correctly

[malek-benazzouz]

Package name

core

Package version

11.5.6

Reproduction steps

Generate a project with an app:

npm create @o3r project # Uses o3r deps v 11.5.6
cd project
ng g application app

Then, update all the @o3r/x dependencies in both the root package.json and the app package.json files, to a newer version, for example version 11.6.0-rc.2.

Then run npm install to install all these new versions.

Current result

The npm install command fails:

$ npm i

Note: if I retry using --force option, it manages to install all the deps correctly.

Expected result

I would expect my npm install to correctly install the new versions, without having to pass --force option.

Hi,

It seems that your issue is because you upgrade has been done manually and some packages (including the @ama-sdk/*) are missing.

The recommended processes to upgrade are the following:

• ng upgrade @o3r/core via the Angular Upgrade process
• yarn up '@o3r/*' '@ama-sdk/*' (or npm up '@o3r/*' '@ama-sdk/*') to update without Angular update

Hi Kilian, thanks for the answer!

I actually used the ng update @o3r/core@11.6.0-rc.2 command to handle the upgrade, and it did install the @ama-sdk/* deps.

But the issue is that in a monorepo, the ng update only handles the root package.json file.
There is no harmonization with the app package.json file, so there is no choice but to manually update the app deps.
When updating the app deps, I actually did update the @ama-sdk/* deps, but somehow, because the old versions are still in package-lock.json file at the time I run my npm install, it fails. It seems like it does not handle multiple workspaces properly.

Running an npm install --force fixes the issue in this case, and after that all the deps are correct in both the root and the app (including the @ama-sdk/* ones).
