NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm

Correctly sets up node, pnpm, and cache for pnpm dependencies so that installation can be as fast as it can be.

Usage:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm@v2

Support:

• dependency cache
• pnpm only
  • choose pnpm version via package.json#packageManager or package.json#volta.pnpm
  • pass any args

Options

While this action is meant to reduce boilerplate, you end up having one extra line than optimal if you need to customize anything, unless doing inline yaml-object syntax -- example:

- uses: NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm@v2
  with: { node-version: 18 }

node-version

Allows changing the node-version passed to actions/setup-node.

- uses: NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm@v2
  with:
    node-version: 18

node-registry-url

Allows changing the registry-url passed to actions/setup-node.

- uses: NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm@v2
  with:
    node-registry-url: "https://registry.npmjs.org"

pnpm-version

Allows changing the pnpm-version passed to pnpm/action-setup.

- uses: NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm@v1
  with:
    pnpm-version: 7.29.0

args

Passes through any args directly to pnpm install.

- uses: NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm@v2
  with:
    args: '--ignore-scripts --fix-lockfile'

no-lockfile

Boolean flag useful for tossing out the lockfile for testing if in-range floating dependency changes have accidentally broken things.

- uses: NullVoxPopuli/action-setup-pnpm@v2
  with:
    no-lockfile: true

Why?

pnpm/action-setup can install dependencies on its own, but then no cache is used from actions/setup-node.

actions/setup-node configures node, (and correctly respects volta configurations), cache, etc

To set this up on your own, you would required three manual steps in your workflow config file:

steps:
  # ...
  - uses: pnpm/action-setup@v2
    with:
      version: 8
  - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
    with:
      cache: 'pnpm'
  - run: pnpm install
