Question on additions about spago HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @f-f @justinwoo. Thank you both for you answers. Ok good to know. Exciting to hear about the from-bower proposal. Overall I'm really thankful for this package because of the additions/overrides thing. It's fantastic. I will close this issue now. Thanks again to both of you for good work 👍

Hi @naglalakk! You're right, spago cannot know about dependencies of dependencies (especially if things are not in the package-set, so things will fail to build if:

• you don't specify all the dependencies when adding a package to the set
• even if a package is specified in the set, it's missing some dependencies

More specifically, in your case it looks like you're not specifying all the dependencies of purescript-graphql? Looking at its bower file it seems like not all the dependencies are listed in your addition (e.g. missing aff-promise and so on?)

In case a dependency is not in the package-set, IIRC spago will error out (I'll verify this), but it could also be that some dependency already in the package-set is missing some of their dependencies.

We have #24 open for a proposal to add a from-bower command, that will fetch the bower file do this addition automagically for you.

P.S.: if you manage to find a combination of libraries that works, please consider adding them to spacchetti :)

As Fabrizio pointed out, we can't even use bower.json as a reliable source of information of what packages are required. I run into this quite often when updating package sets.

In the end, you should try to add packages to a package set (Spacchetti, a fork of Spacchetti, etc) as much as you can. Otherwise, local additions will have to try to specify their dependencies explicitly or you will just have to add them to your own dependencies list.
