Issue with IDE code completion on PWA with the docker install : node modules not found

[Ak1r0]

Hi,

IDE code completion on PWA with the docker install

I'm encountering a problem with coding on the PWA when using the Docker installation: there is no autocomplete functionality, and my IDE (PhpStorm) is displaying errors because node modules cannot be found.

Ex: TS2307: Cannot find module next or its corresponding type declarations.

I assume the issue comes from pnpm storing modules in /.pnpm-store (default pnpm dir defined in pwa/Dockerfile),
and pwa/node_modules contains only symlinks, which my IDE (on the host machine) cannot resolve...

I tried to set up a bound volume for pwa in compose.override.yaml :

  pwa:
    build:
      context: ./pwa
      target: dev
    volumes:
      - ./pwa:/srv/app
      - /srv/app/node_modules
      - ./.pnpm-store/:/.pnpm-store

but it didnt work (obvisouly but i still tried :D)

For now i changed the pwa/Dockerfile to use npm instead of pnpm in dev but i'd rather keep pnpm if possible.

Any tips ?

Second point :

the /.pnpm_store should maybe be added as a volume for consistency and performances (when rebuilding) ?
