npm prepublish script is not runnable during npm link

What is the current behavior? I use react-helmet on both my local dependency and my app. I linked my dependency using npm link and I have to link react-helmet too so that I don't create a duplicate instance of react-helmet in my code. But linking react-helmet in my dependency throws this error when I ran npm link.

> [email protected] build /workspace/app/node_modules/react-helmet
> rollup -c

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/workspace/dep/node_modules/react-helmet/rollup.config.js'
    at Object.realpathSync (fs.js:1529:7)

The files needed to be prepublish-ed are not included in npm. See .npmignore

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem. Your bug will get fixed much faster if we can run your code and it doesn't have dependencies other than React and react-helmet. Paste the link to your JSFiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/Luktwrdm/) or CodeSandbox (https://codesandbox.io/s/new) example below:

• run npm link ../dependency/node_modules/react-helmet

What is the expected behavior?

• prepublish script does not block user from linking the module locally There are many solution, but I can't tell which is better since I don't know the process your team is using to publish this module.

Which versions of React and react-helmet, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of React and/or react-helmet? react-helmet 6.0.0

If you require the source then use the git repo in your package.json tagged on the source you want. Caution you will have to do everything yourself/
