PNpM CLI
pnpm 12.8.1 fixes pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting lockfiles with injected workspace packages that have peers, restores the executable bit on files of local directory dependencies, makes pnpm dedupe converge, and uses less CPU on many-core machines.
Patch Changes
-
pnpm install --frozen-lockfileno longer rejects a freshly generated lockfile when an injected workspace package has peer dependencies #16332. -
Executable files in a
file:directory dependency or an injected workspace package keep their executable bit again. Since 12.8.0, pnpm installed these files without the permissions they have in their project. -
pnpm dedupenow reaches a stable lockfile when a package's peer suffix is long enough to be hashed. Before, each run could switch that package's key between the hashed and the spelled-out suffix, sopnpm dedupe --checkalways failed #16331. -
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, the default in CI, now uses less CPU on machines with more than 8 cores. Warm installs on many-core Windows machines got up to 10% faster. Frozen installs now link with at most 16 worker threads. -
verifyDepsBeforeRunno longer reports dependencies as outdated after a filtered install just becausepnpm-lock.yamlhas a newer modification time. It checks the lockfile against the packages that install put in place. Before,pnpm runreinstalled the whole workspace with lifecycle scripts on, for example after a DockerCOPYbrought in a lockfile with a newer mtime #16322.After a filtered install,
verifyDepsBeforeRunnow also checks that the install put the selected projects' dependencies in place. Anode_modulesdirectory alone no longer counts as proof. -
pnpm runandpnpm execno longer install a project that has never been installed and has nothing to install. Such a project declares no dependencies, no peer dependencies thatautoInstallPeerswould fetch, and no install lifecycle scripts. The command now runs without writingnode_modulesorpnpm-lock.yaml#16313. -
pnpm update -g --latestnow upgrades globally installed packages beyond their saved version ranges #16320.
