A user noticed a notification in the Discourse update interface about a switch to pnpm for JavaScript package management, expressing confusion since it wasn’t clear the change was automatic. RGJ directed them to a Meta Discourse announcement explaining the transition. Architect acknowledged the oversight and appreciated the clarification, noting the update was from the web updater for standard installations. Lilly shared screenshots to illustrate the update process. The discussion concluded with Architect realizing they should have searched the Meta Discourse site first and suggesting the topic could be closed or merged with the existing announcement thread.
Search is your friend! Discourse core is switching to pnpm for JS package management
Thanks, hadn’t seen that announcement.
This alert is a little confusing because doesn’t mention that the change is automatically applied. This was from the U.I. web updater for standard install sites.
Right got that, did run web search yesterday but sorry didn’t search specifically here at meta or else would have seen that announcement topic first. Didn’t want to cross-post second comment there since already started this topic but this one could be closed or merged with that one.
