Bug: parent deno.json not discovered if subfolder contains package.json

[marvinhagemeister]

Ran into this whilst hacking on an adapter for nitro.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create deno.json with these contents:

{
  "unstable": ["node-globals"],
}

2. Create a file sub/foo.ts with these contents:

console.log(`Buffer: ${typeof Buffer}`);

3. Create an empty file sub/package.json
4. Run deno run sub/foo.ts -> Buffer is undefined

Full directory structure:

/
  deno.json
  sub/
    package.json
    foo.ts

Version: Deno 2.1.7+aeac5a6

That's by design. You need to add the sub folder as a workspace member otherwise the package.json is considered a workspace of its own:

{
  "workspace": ["./sub"],
  "unstable": ["node-globals"],
}
