file: + shamefully-hoist not seeing deep deps change

[farfromrefug]

I have repo with a root package json with only one dep:

"@nativescript-community/plugin-seed-tools": "file:tools"

Inside the tools folder i have a ton of dependencies.
I use shamefully-hoist so that all deps from tools are present in the top node_modules

the issue is that if i change a dep version in tools/package.json and run pnpm i in the root folder then the deps are not updated

I can confirm a similar issue to this, this causes an issue for me when using Vite as it looks for dependencies to optimize in the working directory. I'm linking to another repo using link:../myrepo and while it successfully links that package, it doesn't "hoist" its dependencies.

@arpowers it won't work with the 'link: protocol. If you need to hoist the deps of myrepo, use the file: protocol instead.

try to run pnpm update or pnpm update @nativescript-community/plugin-seed-tools

@zkochan thanks did not know about that command.
will try.
maybe I am dumb but shouldn't this be part of install? I might be missing something but I would expect install to "update" like it would do if it sees a dep change a root level.

@zkochan i tested pnpm update and it does not seem to be doing what i expect. I can deps being updating. However if i remove deps in that sub folder and use pnpm update in the root folder which is using shamefully-hoist then the deps do not get removed
