Install dependencies after cloning not working with pnpm-workspace

[Callan003]

Environment

Node: v20.10.0
"nuxt": "^3.9.0",
"vue": "^3.4.3",
"vue-router": "^4.2.5"

Reproduction

Method1:

1. https://github.com/Callan003/test-nuxt-layers
2. run pnpm install - it will get stuck
3. remove pnpm-workspace.yaml
4. run pnpm install - it works
5. optional: remove old node_modules and pnpm-lock between step 3 and 4 just to be sure it is a clean build

Method2:

1. https://github.com/Callan003/test-nuxt-layers
2. go to nuxt.config.ts
3. remove { giget: { install: true } }
4. run pnpm install - it works
5. add { giget: { install: true } } back
6. run pnpm install - it fails
7. optional: remove old node_modules and pnpm-lock before running pnpm install

Describe the bug

When trying to use the new install feature with pnpm-workspace the project gets stuck on pnpm install.

I think it gets stuck on the following prompt: "The modules directory at "C:\Projects\test-nuxt-layers\a\node_modules" will be removed and reinstalled from scratch. Proceed? (Y/n)". Because running the "pnpm install" command will not 'answer' with a Y/n, the process gets stuck.

On bigger projects it will ask this prompt for each node_modules which will trigger the "MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmmiter memory leak detected" warning. Like I mentioned here

I am not sure if it is a pnpm bug or a c12 bug, but it seems to be breaking only when using install: true and pnpm-workspace.yaml file

@pi0 any guidance here? I'm attempting to solve this issue, and I would be grateful for any advice or tips you can offer. Thank-you!

Hi dear @Callan003 thanks for the nice reproduction and sorry for delay on this.

I have made upstream issue in nypm that handles downloading which by default it probably has to auto skip interactive prompts like this.

hi @pi0, there are 2 ways of bypassing confirm popup

first one will eagerly will force installation of the dependencies
pnpm install --force

in this case it ends in:

../../../a postinstall: sh: nuxi: command not found
│  ELIFECYCLE  Command failed.
│ ../../../b postinstall: sh: nuxi: command not found
│ ../../.. postinstall: sh: nuxi: command not found
│  ERROR  Command failed with exit code 1: corepack pnpm install
│   at makeError (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/execa/lib/error.js:60:11)
│   at handlePromise (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/execa/index.js:124:26)
│   at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5)
│   at async executeCommand (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/nypm/dist/index.mjs:43:3)
│   at async installDependencies (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/nypm/dist/index.mjs:169:3)
│   at async downloadTemplate (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/giget/dist/index.mjs:349:5)
│   at async resolveConfig (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/c12/dist/index.mjs:272:20)
│   at async extendConfig (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/c12/dist/index.mjs:225:21)
│   at async loadConfig (node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/c12/dist/index.mjs:160:5)
│   at async loadNuxtConfig (node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@nuxt/kit/dist/index.mjs:2546:18) 
│  ERROR  Command failed with exit code 1: corepack pnpm install

second involves setting terminal in CI mode and run install with config

export CI=1                                    
pnpm install --config.confirmModulesPurge=false

In this case in ends in:

. postinstall: ../../../b postinstall: sh: /Users/maciej.jezierski/projects/test-nuxt-layers/node_modules/.bin/nuxi: Permission denied
. postinstall: ../../../a postinstall: sh: /Users/maciej.jezierski/projects/test-nuxt-layers/node_modules/.bin/nuxi: Permission denied
. postinstall:  ELIFECYCLE  Command failed.

. postinstall:   at async loadNuxtConfig (node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@nuxt/kit/dist/index.mjs:2546:18) 
. postinstall: [error] Command failed with exit code 1: corepack pnpm install

I think in both cases we end up in situations where nuxi lacks permissions to be executed, but it's just assumption.
