Patching falls over when using local path dependencies

[brettwillis]

What version of Bun is running?

1.1.26

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 23.6.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

When running bun install on a package that has a local path dependency, and that dependency has patches, then bun seemingly conflates the patches from that dependency and therefore cannot find the patch files.

Like so:

pkgA/package.json:

{
  "patchedDependencies": {
    "depA@1.0.0": "patches/depA@1.0.0.patch"
  }
  "dependencies": {
    "depA": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

Doing bun install on pkgA works fine and applies the patches as expected.

Then,

pkgB/package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "pkgA": "../pkgA"
  }
}

Doing bun install on pkgB fails with the following:

% bun install
[0.42ms] ".env"
bun install v1.1.26 (0a37423b)
  🔍 depA [20/120] 

Errors occured while calculating hash for patches/depA@1.0.0.patch:

error: 

error: could not find patch file patches/depA@1.0.0.patch

Please make sure it exists.

To create a new patch file run:

  bun patch patches/depA@1.0.0.patch

What is the expected behavior?

I expected the local file dependency ../pkgA to just symlink/hardlink to that local path and not run any installation on that referenced dependency, just like npm behaviour. Even if you do want to deviate from that behaviour to auto-install the dependencies inside pkgA, it is a bug to conflate that package's patches into pkgB...?

What do you see instead?

As above.

@dylan-conway any updates on this? how remove the patch using bun if not needed anymore?
