Question: How to fork and build this package locally to edit and use within the metamask-extension

[AngusBurton]

Hello, I'm trying to fork and build this package locally to edit and use as a dependency within the metamask-extension repo. Unfortunately I've failed to do so.

I've tried linking it within the package json using yarn install <filepath> which successfully creates a link to the local module however when running yarn start on the metamask-extension repo it produces an error: TypeError: Tried to access an environmental variable "_nodeLRUCacheForceNoSymbol" that wasn't declared in builds.yml I did try adding the env like it says however it keeps asking for envs to add to builds.yml which ultimately doesn't work.

I've also tried just putting the package directly inside the metamask-extension repo and change the imports to the filepath of the local package. But this caused many dependency issues.

Is there a better way to go about this? If you have any ideas I'd love to know. Thanks.

Hi @Cognacy, no I haven't been able to resolve this.

Have you tried listing your fork as a dependency in package.json? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28728665/how-to-use-private-github-repo-as-npm-dependency
