how to locally develop angular cli builder












0















I have 2 folders on my machine, one Angular CLI project and one typescript project where I'm developing builders for the Angular CLI architects This is a mono repo and the builders are internal use only that I never plan on publishing. I have tried referencing the builders 4 diffrent ways:



relative:



/* angular.json */
{
"projects": {
"my-cli-proj": {
"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "relative/path/to/my-builders:my-browser"
}
}
}
}
}


install local module (file:):



/* package.json */
{
"devDependencies": {
"my-builders": "file:relative/path/to/my-builders"
}
}

/* angular.json */
{
"projects": {
"my-cli-proj": {
"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "my-builders:my-browser"
}
}
}
}
}


npm link (the "right" way) (not an option see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13055#issuecomment-442815952)



run npm link in the my-builders folder and then npm link my-builders in the angular cli project folder



/* angular.json */
{
"projects": {
"my-cli-proj": {
"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "my-builders:my-browser"
}
}
}
}
}


npm pack:



run npm pack in the my-builders folder



/* package.json */
{
"devDependencies": {
"my-builders": "file:relative/path/to/my-builders-version.tgz"
}
}

/* angular.json */
{
"projects": {
"my-cli-proj": {
"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "my-builders:my-browser"
}
}
}
}
}


All ways but npm pack produce this misleading error on ng build




Angular Compiler was detected but it was an instance of the wrong class.
This likely means you have several @ngtools/webpack packages installed. You can check this with npm ls @ngtools/webpack, and then remove the extra copies.




output of npm ls @ngtools/webpack



`-- @angular-devkit/build-angular@0.8.3
`-- @ngtools/webpack@6.2.3


Needing to run npm pack for every little change is not reasonable, is there a better way to develop the builder locally? (prefer the builders to be in their own project for separation).

Edit:



I also tried



/* angular.json */
{
"projects": {
"my-cli-proj": {
"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "my-builders:my-browser",
"options": {
"preserveSymlinks": true
}
}
}
}
}
}


and ng build --preserve-symlink, same results.
