Why
Lerna works in a way that it manages "internal" dependencies within your monorepo by managing all relevant npm link
commands for you in local development. So you can keep the dependencies to other packages in the monorepo in your package.json while linking the latest versions during development. The downside is that all commands that depend on the dependencies defined in package.json
s will fail because "internal" packages are just linked and not yet published. One of this commands is npm audit
because it tires to analyse the dependency tree. lerna-audit
mimics the behavior of lerna - removing internal packages from package.json, run the command, restore package.json - to run a npm fix
in every lerna managed package.
