Enable cookieplone add-ons via mrs.developer in pnpm-workspace.yaml

[Fosten]

This line works within cookieplone add-ons

cookieplone-templates/frontend_addon/{{ cookiecutter.__folder_name }}/pnpm-workspace.yaml

Line 4 in 6e8c38d

- 'packages/*'

But for a project's pnpm-workspace file, this only supports generator-volto add-ons

As seen in kitconcept.volto-lite-theme
https://github.com/kitconcept/volto-light-theme/blob/18c9fba394c41fafbf303dce877ae946735823ca/pnpm-workspace.yaml#L4-L6
This supports cookieplone addons within a cookieplone project

'packages/**/packages/*'

This also worked for me.

'packages/*/packages/*'

Additionally, if the project's pnpm-workspace.yaml is customized for any reason, the user will need to add this to the frontend Dockerfile

COPY --chown=node pnpm-workspace.yaml /app/

@Fosten I'm not sure I understand the situation you're reporting. Could you provide steps to reproduce the problem starting from a fresh cookieplone project?

[Fosten]

Ah yes, sorry, I see that I left out a key detail. This is for cookieplone add-ons fetched via mrs.developer.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add any cookieplone addon to mrs.developer.json
2. Enable add-on in volto.config.js
3. make install = ERR_PNPM_WORKSPACE_PKG_NOT_FOUND  In packages/volto-addon: "volto-addon@workspace:*" is in the dependencies but no package named "volto-addon" is present in the workspace

This is because it clones the entire repo including the "-dev" outer package where there is already declaration for "dependencies": { "volto-addon": "workspace:*"}.

In your cookieplone root project pnpm-workspace.yaml, you can add
packages/volto-addon/packages/*

Or add a catch-all like
packages/*/packages/*

Or simply change
packages/*
to recursive
packages/**

And then for the Dockerfile additionally copy in your pnpm-workspace.yaml (Which should be done anyway to allow future user-customization of this file).

Perhaps there is a better way? Only clone the inner packages/src? Or change mrs.developer add-on path "output": "packages"? Or use hoist settings in .npmrc https://pnpm.io/npmrc ? However, the above solutions worked fine.
