Adding more guidance for handling monorepos for firefox addon store sources zip

[stevezhu]

Feature Request

Currently wxt bundles only the direct extension sources which means the build can't be reproduced if there are other monorepo dependencies. Although there is guidance on private packages (https://wxt.dev/guide/essentials/publishing.html#private-packages), this doesn't account for dependencies on other local workspaces in the monorepo.

I created a wxt module https://github.com/stevezhu/wxt-turbo to generate the sources using turbo prune (https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/prune).

Just starting the discussion on how to better bundle monorepo sources in a reproducible way for firefox addons store review. Wondering should there be more official guidance on how to best accomplish this or a more generic method for monorepos?

Is your feature request related to a bug?

You can set the zip.sourcesRoot option to the root of your monorepo, then manually include/exclude different packages.

// <root>/apps/extension/wxt.config.ts

export default defineConfig({
  zip: {
    sourcesRoot: "../../",
    // includeSources/excludeSources are relative to the `sourcesRoot`:
    includeSources: [
      // WXT includes all files by default, you don't need to specify this option
    ],
    excludeSources: [
      // List directories and files you don't want to include, WXT has some defaults
      'packages/internal-example/**'
    ],
  }
})

I agree that it should be documented.

If you add this to your project, could you share a real example that we could add to the docs?

There is also this: #1505

Your turborepo solution is good, but not all monorepos use it. It should be possible to collect all the source code files Vite uses to build your package, and include them automatically, regardless of if you're using a monorepo or not, which is what that issue is about.

Ah great thanks for the link, that should solve this problem.
