Multiple native ABI versions in a monorepo

[hyperknot]

In a monorepo I'm using better-sqlite3 both in Electron and in a Fastify server. Exact same package versions, different required ABI versions for each env.

For Electron, I have to rebuild it to Electron's Node ABI, with electron-rebuild -f.

My problem is that it breaks the backend's version as well.

I'm trying hard to break pnpm's hard linking to somehow separate those packages from each other.

I ended up writing a Python script which breaks a hard-linked folder for this package and make it into a copied folder.

Super hacky, but works.

Is there a built-in way to do this in pnpm? I'd love to have a specific package not-hard-linked, meanwhile having every other package hard-linked.

Also, I'm wondering about the following: if there is no Fastify server, so no conflict, what happens with the pnpm store's location when I run electron-rebuild? Isn't that command destroying every instance of this package on my system, because of the shared pnpm store?

The only side effect I seem to be having is this warning during updates, so I always need to rerun the linking script afterwards.

WARN  Moving better-sqlite3 that was installed by a different package manager to "node_modules/.ignored"

 
But what is the proper way of doing it?
