How to add in a package.json a script to compile the dependencies then the package itself ?

[stevebeauge]

I'm working a large monorepo that have several shared packages and multiple applications that are consuming the packages.

I'd like to add, in each of the application, a script to build only the application itself and its dependencies.

What I tried :

calling turbo from the app1/package.json

First dependencies, then app itslef

"scripts": {
        "build": "turbo run build --filter=@myrepo/app1^... && echo 'actual build using gulp'",
        ...

=> Failed because turbo cannot be run outside of the repo root

calling turbo from the app1/package.json, fixing the path

"scripts": {
        "build": "turbo run build --cwd=../.. --filter=@myrepo/app1^... && echo 'actual build using gulp'",
        ...

or

"scripts": {
        "build": "cd ../.. && turbo run build --filter=@myrepo/app1^... && echo 'actual build using gulp'",
        ...

Both are looping compilation. Probably because of a weird issue with the ^ that is stripped under windows. Doubling it do not solve the issue.

Having a workspace script that accept parameters

Thx to pnpm V7, we can pass parameter to scripts
in /package.json:

    "scripts": {
        "turbo" : "turbo run build"
    },

in apps/app1/package.json:

"scripts": {
        "build": "pnpm -w run turbo --  --filter=@myrepo/app1^... && echo 'actual build using gulp'",
        ...

Still looping in compilation, becasue the app1's build include building itself

Thanks for advise
