I’m trying to debug some issue with ionic framework. So I created an ionic sample project and used npm link method([How to test your NPM package locally - DEV Community](https://dev.to/dailydevtips1/how-to-test-your-npm-package-locally-2b6)) to link my local copy of @ionic/angular, but build is failing because of dependency issue.

here is my deps list for sample project  
“dependencies”: {  
“@angular/animations”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@angular/common”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@angular/compiler”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@angular/core”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@angular/forms”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@angular/platform-browser”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@angular/platform-browser-dynamic”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@angular/router”: “^17.0.2”,  
“@ionic/angular”: “file:…/…/ionic-framework/packages/angular”,  
“cordova-ios”: “6.3.0”,  
“ionicons”: “^7.0.0”,  
“rxjs”: “~7.8.0”,  
“tslib”: “^2.3.0”,  
“zone.js”: “~0.14.2”  
}

how can debug with local copy?
