Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

yarn4 projects that depend on @actual/api fail to build because google-protobuf is not listed as a top-level dependency.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Repro: Try to build a project with a dependency on @actual/apiusing yarn 4

Result: Error: @actual-app/api tried to access google-protobuf, but it isn't declared in its dependencies; this makes the require call ambiguous and unsound.

Workaround: add a stanza to .yarnrc.yml with the missing dependency:

packageExtensions:
  "@actual-app/api@*":
    dependencies:
      google-protobuf: "^3.12.0-rc.1"

Where are you hosting Actual?

Locally via Yarn

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome, Other

Operating System

Linux

For some reason it works okay for me with yarn4 I was using node_modules linker

% yarn why google-protobuf -R
└─ my-project@workspace:.
   └─ @actual-app/api@npm:25.11.0-nightly.20251102 (via npm:25.11.0-nightly.20251102)
      └─ @actual-app/crdt@npm:2.1.0 (via npm:^2.1.0)
         └─ google-protobuf@npm:3.21.4 (via npm:^3.12.0-rc.1)

Right, apologies for not including explicit repro steps. For posterity:

mkdir /tmp/bar
cd /tmp/bar
yarn init
yarn add @actual-app/api
echo "let api = require('@actual-app/api');" > bar.js
yarn node bar.js

Repeated from my comment on my PR, I'm fine with punting or deferring this; after reporting the issue I realized that currently the way I have Emacs set up as my IDE for TypeScript doesn't handle PnP well either, and my impression is that most folks set nodeLinker: node-modules in .yarnrc.yml and get on with their lives.

Quoting @MatissJanis on the PR

Yeah, I think this one is a wont-fix.

Yarn PnP is not supported by other large projects (famously: TypeScript). So it's not exactly a web standard that should be adopted.

However, I get that it can be somewhat frustrating. I wish there was a way to get the best of both worlds - PnP support without the need to manually hack in dependencies.
