fix: pnpm installs hang forever - close stdin, harden the pnpm backend - #6139
fix: pnpm installs hang forever - close stdin, harden the pnpm backend#6139NathanWalker wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
pnpm 10/11 never exits while its stdin is an open pipe, so every CLI-fired install (ns run/debug --force, ns install, plugin add) finished its work and then hung the CLI on the child's "close" event. Non-interactive installs now spawn with stdin ignored. Also in the pnpm backend: - pass --shamefully-hoist only when no pnpm-workspace.yaml or .npmrc layout key (node-linker, shamefully-hoist, hoist*) governs the install dir: pnpm treats a contradicting hoist flag as a config change and rebuilds node_modules, aborting when there is no TTY - drop CLI-internal options (ignoreScripts, path, frameworkPath) before flag serialization: pnpm hard-fails on unknown options where npm silently accepts them - getCachePath: `pnpm config get cache` prints "undefined" (pnpm has no cache key), yielding a relative junk path for pacote; fall back to the parent of `pnpm store path`

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR prevents non-interactive pnpm installs from hanging and hardens pnpm option and cache handling, but array-valued .npmrc hoisting settings can still be missed, causing installs to abort when no TTY is available. This leaves a concrete install-failure path unresolved and should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🌐 Web query:
For the pnpm versions supported by this repository, can .npmrcusehoist-pattern[]orpublic-hoist-pattern[]? Provide the applicable official documentation.
💡 Result:
Yes, the hoist-pattern[] and public-hoist-pattern[] configurations are supported in .npmrc files, although the official pnpm documentation primarily recommends configuring these settings in pnpm-workspace.yaml or a global configuration file (~/.config/pnpm/config.yaml) for better stability and clarity [1][2]. While these settings are technically supported via the .npmrc file using the array syntax (e.g., hoist-pattern[]=...) [3][4], they are often categorized under workspace-specific settings [2]. According to official pnpm documentation, most settings outside of authentication, registry, and proxy configuration should be placed in pnpm-workspace.yaml [1][2]. Important considerations when using these settings in .npmrc: 1. Usage Context: If you are using a pnpm workspace, the settings should ideally reside in your pnpm-workspace.yaml [1][2]. 2. Compatibility Risks: Defining these settings in .npmrc has historically caused issues when pnpm is invoked through tools like npx or certain npm scripts, as the underlying environment may incorrectly parse or override the array-based settings [4]. 3. Syntax: When used in .npmrc, the syntax requires the [] suffix to denote an array, for example: public-hoist-pattern[]=*types* [3]. You can find further details in the official documentation regarding node-modules and hoisting settings at: https://pnpm.io/settings/node-modules

Recognize array-valued layout settings.
When the pnpm version accepts hoist-pattern[] or public-hoist-pattern[] in .npmrc, layoutKeyPattern does not match the [] suffix. projectManagesOwnHoisting then returns false, so install adds --shamefully-hoist. This can trigger the non-interactive layout conflict.
Allow an optional [] suffix and add tests for both keys.

Make the non-interactive test deterministic.
This test does not force isInteractive() to return false. When it runs from a TTY outside CI, the implementation correctly uses "inherit" and line 183 fails. Stub the interactive-state helper, or otherwise force non-interactive mode, before this install call.
