| Short Description | Support yarn's "resolutions" fields
I have a Bolt monorepo setup with a graphql server in `packages/server`, and a Gatsby site in `packages/website`:
`packages/server/package.json`
```json
{
"dependencies": {
"graphql": "^14.0.0"
}
}
```
`packages/website/package.json`
```json
{
"scripts": {
"start": "gatsby develop"
},
"dependencies": {
"gatsby": "^2.0.0"
}
}
```
After running `bolt`, then `cd packages/website && yarn start`, I get this error:
```
error Cannot use GraphQLScalarType "JSON" from another module or realm.
Ensure that there is only one instance of "graphql" in the node_modules
directory. If different versions of "graphql" are the dependencies of other
relied on modules, use "resolutions" to ensure only one version is installed.
https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/selective-version-resolutions
Duplicate "graphql" modules cannot be used at the same time since different
versions may have different capabilities and behavior. The data from one
version used in the function from another could produce confusing and
spurious results.
```
I can confirm multiple versions of `graphql` with `yarn why`:
```
❯ yarn why graphql
=> Found "graphql@14.0.2"
info Has been hoisted to "graphql"
info This module exists because it's specified in "dependencies".
=> Found "gatsby#graphql@0.13.2"
info This module exists because "gatsby" depends on it.
=> Found "relay-compiler#graphql@0.13.2"
info This module exists because "gatsby#relay-compiler" depends on it.
```
Adding a resolutions field to `packages/website/package.json`:
```json
{
"resolutions": {
"gatsby/**/graphql": "^14.0.0"
}
}
```
Doesn't make any different (appears to be ignored entirely).
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Bolt monorepo setup with package.json resolutions, then compare the resulting dependency tree with yarn why graphql. Trace how Bolt reads workspace package.json files and installs or hoists dependencies; done means supported resolutions are applied rather than ignored and the duplicate graphql versions are resolved.
