Update parent package versions on same 'deploy'

[rcompton78]

Just a suggestion:

Add a flag to have the version act similar to lerna when there is package-a that depends on package-b and you have changes to package-b. This flag would update package-a to use the new package-b version. I realise if package-a has ~/^ as the version it most likely will get the new package on install but as a flag it would be nice.

Somewhat going a long with this is it possible to have one git commit for X package changes instead of X commits?

Thanks for all the hard work.

Does the --trackDeps option is what your are looking for?

[rcompton78]

That works perfect. I tried it out originally but I must have missed something in the setup. Likely a project.json missing trackDeps

[rcompton78]

Actually after testing a bit more I think it is either a bug or missing an option. When you use trackDeps it ups the version of all the dependent packages correctly but does not update the actual package version in the dependencies[] in package.json. Ex;

PackageA (1.1.0)
dependencies: [ [email protected]]

PackageB (1.0.0)

Make a oatch change to packageB and semver does
PackageA(1.011)
dependencies: [[email protected]]

PackageB(1.0.1)

As I mentioned mostly likely if you have ~/^ it will pick up the patch/minor changes as you want but Lerna allows you to auto update the versions in the deps[] to keep things synced or work with exact versions.

@rcompton78 Because semver assumes that you are using path-alias for importing dependencies, not an external npm package. It follows the Nx philosophy which enforces the single version policy.
