fix(ci): don't error on optional deps in the lockfile#9083
Merged
Conversation
We build a virtual tree from the lockfile before we build the ideal tree so that we can compare the two and error if package.json differs from what was used to build the lockfile. The virtual tree includes optional deps in it that would otherwise be ignored when building the ideal tree. In order not to have `npm ci` fail in this situation we need to build the virtual tree separately, and start clean when building the ideal tree. This also brings in a few linting fixups.
