We’re switching Discourse core’s JS package manager from from ‘yarn classic’ to pnpm . This will bring significant improvements to install speed & storage requirements. Production If you use managed hosting or a standard install , then you don’t need to do anything. The change will be applied automat…

I am contributing to another FOSS project where I was recently introduced for the first time to PNPM. The transition was a complete no-brainer, smooth, effective, and a real pleasure. I wrote up very brief notes in the documentation for that project for What PNPM Is, and how to use it. While the ti…

Good resource, thanks @TonyG It’s worth noting though - none of the “configuration notes” there are required for Discourse. Not sure why they need it… maybe because it’s a windows-based application? Also, their note about “In an existing project, just delete the ‘node_modules’ folder” is handled a…

One question here, David: How to run linting locally? ie what replaces, e.g.: yarn prettier --write plugins/discourse-events I’ve tried to run pnpm pprettier --write plugins/discourse-events but it throws an error: Error: File not found with singular glob: /Users/blah/dev/disc/discourse/plugi…

[תמונה] Robert: pnpm pprettier I think you have too many p there? So you want: pnpm prettier --write plugins/discourse-events pprettier is a tool for running prettier in parallel, but I guess it doesn’t support running on a single directory like that.

Yes, pprettier was not appropriate, thanks. Worked out my ultimate problem too. You apparently need to run pnpm install in the plugin directory before you can run linting checks (even from the discourse directory).

Hmm intersting :thinking: With our standard plugin skeleton, each plugin has its own package.json file with its linting dependencies. And for now, the skeleton still uses yarn. So to lint a specific plugin, you would go into the plugin directory and run yarn install yarn prettier --write Using c…

Would we consider using pnpm from the plugin directory too? I believe it is still using the local package.json, no?

[תמונה] Robert: Would we consider using pnpm from the plugin directory too? Yes we definitely will! Just letting the dust settle on the core change before we start that adventure (fun fact: CDCK maintain almost 600 theme/plugin repositories which will all need updating :sweat_smile:)

Thanks for reporting @alxndr.
