Hi @alvincrespo.

I have run into this issue as well building redwood and then copying into my local app … I have been meaning to ask others (like @peterp) so thanks for raising this up.

I work around it by adding devDependencies to the root rw package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    "@redwoodjs/core": "^0.15.3",
    "netlify-plugin-prisma-provider": "^0.3.0",
    "graphql-scalars": "^1.2.6",
    "webpack-retry-chunk-load-plugin": "^1.4.0"
  },

In this case I recently had to add both graphql-scalars and the webpack-retry-chunk-load-plugin one you saw

then

  1. yarn install and
  2. yarn rwt copy ../redwood (or where your rw is)

Make sure you have built your latest redwood before 2.

I tend not to do the rwt build and watch, but build and then copy as I modify rw.

If anything re-installs (like I add a package to the api workspace) or the prisma client rebuilds then I think I have to do the same copy again.
