We've had dataform definitions coexisting with a couple of web apps and some terraform for a while now, with no problems. We had to share a dependency between the apps and used npm workspaces to achieve this (alongside turborepo). We've just merged this and then noticed our release config fails to compile with the following error:
API request error: NPM Execution error: npm ERR! code EUSAGE npm ERR! npm ERR! The `npm ci` command can only install with an existing package-lock.json or npm ERR! npm-shrinkwrap.json with lockfileVersion >= 1. Run an install with npm@5 or npm ERR! later to generate a package-lock.json file, then try again. npm ERR! npm ERR! Clean install a project npm ERR! npm ERR! Usage: npm ERR! npm ci npm ERR! npm ERR!

Log files were not written due to the config logs-max=0
We see other npm related errors in other parts of the UI. For example, when we try to create a new workspace we get the following error:
API request error: NPM Execution error: npm ERR! minimatch is not a function npm ERR! Log files were not written due to the config logs-max=0
I deleted the workspaces part of our package.json and this removed the errors.
If this is a known problem, do you have an idea of when you might support npm workspaces? I feel like our choices are to break up our repository or move to dbt, both of which feel a shame.
