fix: resolve aliased uniwind copy when Expo autolinking resolution picks a hoisted one by jpudysz · Pull Request #694 · uni-stack/uniwind

jpudysz · 2026-09-28T06:02:45Z

In pnpm monorepos where Uniwind Pro is installed under an alias ("uniwind": "npm:uniwind-pro") and a public uniwind is hoisted to the workspace root, Expo's autolinking module resolution resolves uniwind by package name. Because pnpm stores the package in a folder named uniwind-pro, that lookup lands on the hoisted public copy, and its react-native imports rewrite back to itself, crashing the app with Maximum call stack size exceeded (#682).

The Metro plugin now checks whether the resolved file belongs to its own package and, if not, resolves again with the default metro-resolver from the pinned app origin. Verified on an iOS simulator with the published Pro 1.7.0 package in a pnpm workspace.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved Metro module resolution so uniwind requests can fall back to Metro’s default resolver when the pinned package resolution points outside an internal origin. Other resolution results remain unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Metro adapter now loads Metro’s installed resolver. For uniwind requests, it retries with Metro’s default resolver when the base resolver returns a source file outside an internal origin.

Changes

Metro resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve `uniwind` requests `packages/uniwind/src/bundler/adapters/metro/metro.ts`, `packages/uniwind/src/bundler/adapters/metro/resolvers.ts`	The adapter loads Metro’s resolver and uses it as a fallback when the base resolver returns a `sourceFile` outside an internal origin. `isInternalOrigin` is now exported for this check.

Review details

Systems and components

observed — packages/uniwind (library) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in packages/uniwind/src/bundler/adapters/metro/metro.ts: The adapter adds imports for Metro’s resolver module type, Node’s createRequire, and isInternalOrigin.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/uniwind/src/bundler/adapters/metro/metro.ts: withUniwindConfig obtains resolve from Metro’s installed metro-resolver package.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/uniwind/src/bundler/adapters/metro/metro.ts: For uniwind requests, the resolver still calls the base resolver with the pinned package origin. If the result is a sourceFile outside an internal origin, it now retries through Metro’s default resolver; otherwise, it returns the base resolution.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/uniwind/src/bundler/adapters/metro/resolvers.ts: isInternalOrigin is now exported; its parameter and implementation are unchanged.

Reliability and maintainability

inferred — Risk-relevant change factors for packages/uniwind: blast_radius_1; direct_dependents_1

Confidence Score: 4/5

[Medium risk] Adjusts module resolution for the build bundler.

No concrete runtime failure was established, but the repository’s required runtime-contract documentation should be updated before merging.

Findings

Runtime contract is undocumented ▶
Alias fallback lacks regression coverage ▶

Summary

The PR checks whether the configured Metro resolver returned a file from this Uniwind installation and, if not, retries uniwind resolution with Metro’s default resolver.

The changed resolution contract needs to be recorded in CONTEXT.md.
The aliased-install fallback needs a targeted regression test.

+                            return metroResolve({ ...pinnedContext, resolveRequest: metroResolve }, nextModuleName, nextPlatform)


Runtime contract is undocumented

This fallback replaces an external source-file result from the configured resolver with Metro’s default resolution. The repository requires CONTEXT.md to be updated before changing a build or runtime contract, but its Metro section does not describe this behavior. Please document when the fallback takes over; this requirement must be satisfied before merging.

+                            return metroResolve({ ...pinnedContext, resolveRequest: metroResolve }, nextModuleName, nextPlatform)


Alias fallback lacks regression coverage

The existing symlink test checks an import’s origin, not this decision to resolve a returned file again. Please add a test with an aliased Pro copy and a distinct hoisted public copy. Without it, a change that keeps the wrong copy or replaces the correct one could go unnoticed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Limit the fallback to the incorrect uniwind copy.

If a configured resolveRequest intentionally maps uniwind to an app shim outside the plugin package, this condition discards that resolution. Metro then resolves a different file. Check that the returned file belongs to the unwanted public uniwind copy before overriding the configured resolver. (metrobundler.dev)
