Client Extension Build Fails Due to Unresolved Dependency

Issue

• When building a Client Extension of type jsImportMapsEntry, the build fails if the Client Extension depends on another Client Extension, because the build cannot resolve the dependency.

Environment

• Liferay DXP Quarterly Release

Resolution

• To resolve this issue, explicitly define the dependency in the build.gradle file of the dependent Client Extension. For example, if Client Extension A depends on Client Extension B, add the following line to the build.gradle file of Client Extension A:

  packageRunBuild.dependsOn ':client-extensions:B:packageRunBuild'

• Replace :client-extensions:B:packageRunBuild with the actual path to Client Extension B, for example :client-extensions:my-module:packageRunBuild.

Additional Information

• Automatic dependency resolution at the Yarn/NPM level is not supported for Client Extensions.
