Missing dependency on drizzle-orm in drizzle-kit?

I'm using NPM workspaces, and for some reason when I installed 
drizzle-orm
 it was placed in the 
node-modules
 of that specific workspace, rather than the root. I think it was due to a conflict of the 
react
 peer dependency (why is an ORM even depending on React?) - I have an older verison of React already installed and located in the root 
node_modules
.

Anyway, when I installed 
drizzle-kit
 as a dev dependency, it installed it in the root 
node_modules
. Then when I run 
drizzle-kit generate:pg
 , it fails to resolve 
drizzle-orm/pg-core
  • probably related to the fact that that module is located in a workspace-local 
    node_modules
    , but not sure.
his is the rough structure that I ended up with after running 
npm install drizzle-orm --workspace my-workspace
 and 
npm install --save-dev drizzle-kit --workspace my-workspace
:

/node_modules
  /drizzle-kit
/workspaces
  /my-workspace
    /node_modules
      /drizzle-orm


And again, running 
npm exec --workspace my-workspace -- drizzle-kit generate:pg
 (or through an NPM script in 
/workspaces/my-workspace/package.json
) results in a module resolution error:

npm run drizzle:generate -w my-workspace

> drizzle:generate
> drizzle-kit generate:pg

  throw err;
