Can I get manifest releaser to update node's devDependencies / peerDependencies fields too?

[TimothyJones]

What I am trying to do

I have a node monorepo managed with lerna, and I'm using release-please manifest. Inside the monorepo, I have some linked packages that compile with jsii. These need to link to each other with peerDependencies and devDependencies, instead of dependencies.

However, when the manifest releaser bumps the package numbers for linked packages, it only modifies the versions from dependencies. This means the release PR fails the build.

Is there a way I can get manifest-releaser with release-type: node to also update linked packages in devDependencies and peerDpendencies?

What code I've already tried

Extensively searched the documentation

Any error messages you're getting

Error messages on build because the versions that are included are not correct (not errors from release-please).

Apologies, it appears to update devDependencies - but not peerDependencies.

[TimothyJones]

Perhaps this is actually a bug report? I haven't read the code too closely, but it looks like maybe peerDependencies should be in this list?

Anything I can do to help investigate this one?

I'd also be interested in a solution to this.

I raised a PR with a fix for this.
