Report #11470

[bug\_fix] Error: Your application tried to access \[package\], but it isn't declared in your dependencies \(Yarn 2\+ PnP\)

Add the missing package to your package.json dependencies \(not devDependencies if used in production code\), or run yarn unplug \[package\] if the package requires node\_modules to function \(e.g., uses \_\_dirname extensively\), or use the packageExtensions configuration in .yarnrc.yml to declare transitive dependencies.

Journey Context:
Developer upgrades project from Yarn 1 to Yarn 3 with Plug'n'Play \(PnP\) enabled. Runs yarn install, notices no node\_modules folder created \(just .pnp.cjs\). Runs yarn start, immediately gets error that 'lodash is not declared in dependencies' even though the code imports lodash. Realizes Yarn 1 was hoisting lodash transitively from another package, but PnP enforces strict boundaries. Checks which package should declare lodash, adds it to own package.json dependencies. Restarts, app works. Later hits similar issue with eslint-plugin needing resolve, uses yarn unplug to create unplugged folder for that package.

environment: Yarn 2/3/4 with PnP mode \(default\), monorepos, strict dependency checking · tags: yarn pnp plug-n-play strict-dependencies unplug package-extensions · source: swarm · provenance: https://yarnpkg.com/features/pnp\#fallback-pool
