NPM link - Application cannot find linked library's dependencies [ANGULAR]

Question

I am developing an application and a library used in said application. I need to update the library, however, when I use NPM link the application says that the library I have imported does not have the dependencies required. This is a deployed library and does work when not using NPM link and instead using the deployed version. Is there an extra step I am missing to include the dependencies in the link process, or is there an extra command I need to run?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

I have fixed this issue. The way I resolved it was by adding "preserveSymlinks": true in the angular.json file.

The layout should be:

"build": {
    "options": {
        "preserveSymlinks": true,
    }
},

Please note, this is only a solution for versions of angular 11 or less

This answer offers a solution for versions greater than 11
