typegen does not work with Yarn PnP

[joekrill]

Description

I can't use the typegen command because I'm using Yarn PnP. Yarn PnP does not use the traditional node_modules folder, so when the Chakra CLI tool attempt to generate types, I get the following error:

Error: EROFS: read-only filesystem, open '/node_modules/@chakra-ui/react/dist/types/styled-system/generated/conditions.gen.d.ts'

(actually 4 of these errors for each file that is generated).

The typegen tool really shouldn't be writing to the node_modules folder anyway, or assuming it's writable. Would it be possible to specify a custom output folder for these types? Would that even work with how the library reads these types?

This is causing other type errors in my codebase. In particular if I try to use useSlotRecipe for a custom component it returns a never type because - as far as it is concerned - the slot doesn't even exist.

Good point. We should consider using DTS module augmentation instead. That should work everywhere.
