apparently npm i && npm start doesn't work on develop or experimental atm

[ara4n]

we need to CI these surely, and remember to repoint the deps in package.json or whatever is going wrong

Do you mean it doesn't work after following the dev environment setup instructions?

How does the build happen for CI?

[lampholder]

It worked for me building /develop this morning

[ara4n]

this was @martindale complaining of build errors when trying to run npm i && npm start on a develop checkout of riot-web. The theory is that the dep on matrix-react-sdk hadn't been unpinned to develop, so it was trying to use the wrong matrix-react-sdk. Dunno if someone fixed it since or if something else was wrong.

the discussion subsequently slid into a "why is the majority of the app in a library" discussion.

I believe #7728 describes a potential way to fix the cause of this.

We now set the deps back to develop after release, so I believe this should be fixed now.
