So basically I've a local library (WIP) that has been configured to work locally via npm link (in fact the symlink exists in the node_modules folder, the problem is that once I run npm run dev remix doesn't recognize the library at all:

Error: Cannot find module '.......'

Any ideas on how to make it work?

I haven’t tried with the link but I’ve had success developing local modules with remix by installing them from their file path directly

@kind roost yeah I generally avoid that b/c that stays in the package.json and you can commit it by accident.

So far adding this to the remix.config.js file worked out: serverDependenciesToBundle: "all", the mail problem is IDK if it's right or not but it allowed me to work with multiple local modules without having to modify my package.json file at all.

I had this issue when developing a package for remix that was client only, I think I had to output both a client and server bundle for it to work and configure the client and server entry points in package.json
