npm explore not available in workspaces?

[dominykas]

So it seems that npm explore does not like to be run inside workspaces - I can't find information if there was a specific reason for this?

Feels like it should be able to just work - given that you can hack around it by doing something like path.dirname(require.resolve('@my/package/package.json'))?

Happy to open a proper RFC or a PR for this.

Seems like a bug to me - a sibling workspace name should be treated the same as a node_modules-installed package. You could file an RRFC, or we could discuss here, but if the npm team agrees, you’d only need to file an issue on the cli :-)
