when toplevel package-specs get changed, its dependencies need rebuilt

[Minnozz]

Relevant sections of bsconfig.json:

  "sources": {
    "dir": "src",
    "subdirs": true
  },
  "package-specs": [
    {
      "module": "es6", // Works with "commonjs"
      "in-source": false
    }
  ],
  "bs-dependencies": [
    "rescript-jzon"
  ]

In a source file located at src/Subdir/Foo.res, I reference Jzon. In commonjs mode, this works fine. When I switch to es6 output, I get the following compiler error:

rescript: [84/118] src/Subdir/Foo-Project.cmj
FAILED: src/Subdir/Foo-Project.cmj

  We've found a bug for you!

  Missing dependency Jzon in search path

On rescript v9.1.2

can you create a minimal repo so that I can reproduce? changie the module format should have a minimal impact on build

[Minnozz]

Yes, see here: https://github.com/Minnozz/rescript-issue-5154

This is because when you change package-specs, your build dependencies also need get rebuilt.
The current work around is do a clean when you change package-specs

Thanks, that explains it!
