pnpm 11.0.7

pnpm 11.0.7

on Node.js NPM

Patch Changes

• Restore the execute bit on the node-gyp shims packed inside @pnpm/exe (dist/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp, dist/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp.cmd, and dist/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js). Without this, pnpm/action-setup's standalone path (used on runners with Node.js < 22.13) failed any install whose lifecycle script invoked node-gyp rebuild with sh: 1: node-gyp: Permission denied #11483.

• Fixed the pn, pnpx, and pnx aliases failing in Git Bash / MSYS2 on Windows when pnpm was installed via @pnpm/exe (or after pnpm self-update) #11486. Running pnpx (or pnx) printed the cmd.exe banner and dropped the user into an interactive command prompt instead of running pnpm dlx. The bin field rewrite on Windows was pointing those aliases at .cmd files; cmd-shim's Bash shim for a .cmd target wraps it in exec cmd /C ..., and MSYS2 mangles /C into a Windows path before cmd.exe sees it. The aliases are now .exe hardlinks of the SEA binary, which detects which name it was launched as via process.execPath and prepends dlx for pnpx / pnx.

• Fix pnpm install recreating node_modules after pnpm fetch. pnpm fetch records empty hoistPattern and publicHoistPattern in .modules.yaml; since v11 removed the explicit-config gate, the follow-up install treated those as a hoist-pattern change and purged the modules directory. The fetch step now flags the modules manifest with virtualStoreOnly: true so the next install skips the hoist-pattern comparison and completes the missing post-import linking in place #11488.

• Pin the integrity of git-hosted tarballs (codeload.github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org) in the lockfile so that subsequent installs detect a tampered or substituted tarball and refuse to install it. Previously the lockfile only stored the tarball URL for git dependencies, so a compromised git host or a man-in-the-middle could serve arbitrary code on later installs without lockfile changes.

  A new gitHosted: true field is recorded on git-hosted tarball resolutions in the lockfile, letting every reader/writer route them by a single typed check instead of pattern-matching the tarball URL in each call site. Lockfiles written by older pnpm versions are enriched on load (URL fallback) so the field can be relied on uniformly across the codebase.

• Allow user-level preferences in the global config.yaml. The following settings can now be set in ~/.config/pnpm/config.yaml (or via pnpm config set --location global) instead of being restricted to pnpm-workspace.yaml: agent, globalVirtualStoreDir, initPackageManager, initType, registrySupportsTimeField, scriptShell, shellEmulator, sideEffectsCache, sideEffectsCacheReadonly, stateDir, strictDepBuilds, trustPolicy, trustPolicyExclude, trustPolicyIgnoreAfter, updateNotifier, useStderr, verifyDepsBeforeRun, verifyStoreIntegrity, virtualStoreDir, virtualStoreDirMaxLength #11474.

• Make trusted publishing (OIDC) take precedence over a configured static _authToken in pnpm publish, mirroring the npm CLI's behavior. When OIDC succeeds, the OIDC-derived token overrides any pre-configured _authToken; when OIDC is not applicable (no CI environment, exchange fails, registry has no trusted publisher configured), the static token is used as a fallback. This applies on every package during recursive publish, so each workspace package independently attempts trusted publishing.

  Additionally, the NPM_ID_TOKEN env var is now honored as a CI-agnostic injection point for an OIDC ID token. Previously OIDC was only attempted on GitHub Actions or GitLab; now any CI provider that exposes its own OIDC mechanism (e.g. CircleCI's CIRCLE_OIDC_TOKEN_V2, Buildkite, etc.) can forward its token via NPM_ID_TOKEN and trusted publishing will work without pnpm needing to recognize the provider explicitly.

• --pm-on-fail=ignore (and other universal options like --loglevel, --reporter) is now honored when combined with --help or --version. Previously the CLI argument parser short-circuited those flags before universal options were preserved, so pnpm audit --pm-on-fail=ignore --help and pnpm --pm-on-fail=ignore --version reported the strict packageManager mismatch instead of running the requested action #11487.

• Fix a regression where pnpm --recursive --filter '!<pkg>' run/exec/test/add would include the workspace root in the matched projects. The workspace root is now correctly excluded by default when only negative --filter arguments are provided, matching the documented behavior. To include the root, pass --include-workspace-root #11341.

• Restore npm-CLI-compatible --json stdout output for pnpm publish (#11476). pnpm 11 reimplemented publish natively (#10591) and inadvertently dropped the per-package JSON object that pnpm 10 emitted transitively via the npm CLI, silently breaking downstream tooling — most notably nx release publish, which parses stdout JSON to confirm success (nrwl/nx#35575). On success, the output is now:

  • pnpm publish --json → single object { id, name, version, size, unpackedSize, shasum, integrity, filename, files, entryCount, bundled }, mirroring npm publish --json.
  • pnpm publish -r --json → array of those objects, mirroring pnpm pack --json's shape choice.
  • pnpm publish -r --report-summary → existing pnpm-publish-summary.json envelope { publishedPackages: [...] } is preserved, but each entry is upgraded to the same per-package shape (additive — name and version are still present).

• pnpm config get @<scope>:registry now reports the same URL that pnpm publish and the resolvers actually use. Previously, config get only consulted .npmrc, while publish/install used the merged map that includes pnpm-workspace.yaml's registries block — so the two could diverge silently and a publish could go to the wrong registry #11492.
