The pnpm.updateConfig.ignoreDependencies configuration in package.json is not working.

[u3u]

pnpm version:

8.5.1

Code to reproduce the issue:

• pnpm -r up -i --latest
• pnpm -r outdated

Expected behavior:

These dependencies should not be listed for update.

The package.json file in the root directory:

"pnpm": {
  "updateConfig": {
    "ignoreDependencies": [
      "@mantine/*",
      "@types/*",
      "react",
      "react-dom",
      "next"
    ]
  }
}

Actual behavior:

They still appear in the update list.

I also tested command line reverse filtering, which cannot execute commands.

pnpm -r up -i --latest "!@types/*"
zsh: event not found: @types/

# And strangely, redoing a history command will directly discard the input.
pnpm -r up -i --latest ""

Additional information:

• node -v prints: 18.16.0
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: macOS

I tried using this in package.json inside one of my packages in a monorepo and it also didn't work but I'm not sure if that's how it should work? If not, would it be possible to support that?

Hi @u3u , maybe this could be a temporary workaround: pnpm -r update -i --latest "\!@types/*". I will try to fix the issue where updateConfig.ignoreDependencies is not working as expected.

@await-ovo 😘 Thank you! pnpm -r update -i --latest "\!@types/*" works! 🥳
Maybe we should also update the documentation related to patterns. 🧐
