Problem with resolving `pnpm`'s `workspace:*` references about semantic-release-monorepo

[platojh]

a "hack" for those that also stumble upon this: I am using the following step for GitHub Actions to publish without the workspace being apart of the upstream dependency by removing it in each of the packages with sed:

      - name: Version Bump(s) and Publish
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.REPO_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          find . -type f -name package.json -exec sed -i 's/workspace://g' '{}' \;
          pnpm -r --workspace-concurrency=1 exec -- \
          npx --no-install semantic-release -e semantic-release-monorepo

As I understand, the problem is that pnpm converts such "cross-dependency" references into regular deps within its publish command, but semantic-release doesn't.

As you point out, this has to do with semantic-releases publish command, which is not currently customized in semantic-release-monorepo. I would argue it is outside the scope of this plugin to cater to specific tooling configuration like pnpm - it would be in the domain of semantic-release-pnpm plugin. However, that plugin doesn't cater to monorepos so not sure where that leaves us.

Feel free to reopen if you have any ideas. In the meantime, @platojh's workaround should be sufficient?

Looks like there's an idea here: #132
