electron-builder does not respect yarn workspace and pulls in incorrect version into bundled app

[kittaakos]

• Version:
  21.2.0

• Target:
  macOS, dmg

When I use yarn workspaces, the electron-builder does not handle the versions correctly and pulls in an incorrect version into the final app's dependencies.

I set up a repo to reproduce it, and described the oddity here.

Steps to reproduce:

• yarn
• start the electron app: yarn --cwd ./examples/app start and check the version,
• package the electron app: yarn --cwd ./examples/app package and check the version.

Can someone please verify whether it is a bug or a missing feature? Or is my expectation about the versions correct at all?

Thank you!

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Sure.

Some feedback from the maintainers; whether it is a bug or not, seems to be a defect though.

Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

I even set up a repository with the steps to reproduce, what else should I do, dear stale bot?

Did you manage to solve this? I've got the same issue #8519 (comment)

@mifi I have tested electron-builder v25.1.8 and it has resolved the issue in #4516 (electron v21). Could you please test if v25.1.8 has resolved your issue as well?
