Not sure if I'm clear on how to re-apply updated patch...
This is a great tool. I really like it. Thank you!
My issue is that I'm not seeing the updated patch without deleting node_modules.
I'm likely a bit confused about what to expect when I apply the patches. I'm in a React dev environment, so using node to serve the app. I have updated patches and can confirm visually that the changes are in the patches directory as expected. However, despite a forced reload of my browser, the updated patch does not show up.
Here is my workflow:
- update the source file in node_modules
- rebuild the patch with
yarn patches/package-name - visually confirm the updates by
cat patches/package-name.patch - apply the patch to my project
./node_modules/.bin/patch-package - yarn start
I can also just run yarn install in step 4 because I have the "postinstall": "patch-package" entry in my package.json file.
Either way, I don't see the updated patch in the code loaded into the browser (despite a hard reload).
What works is deleting node_modules and running a fresh install. That workflow is troublesome, but hopefully, I can avoid it while debugging the patch.
Thank you in advance for any pointers!
