pnpm run
Aliases: run-script
Runs a script defined in the package's manifest file.
Examples
Let's say you have a watch
script configured in your package.json
, like so:
"scripts": {
"watch": "webpack --watch"
}
You can now run that script by using pnpm run watch
! Simple, right? Another thing to note for those that like to save keystrokes and time is that all scripts get aliased in as pnpm commands, so ultimately pnpm watch
is just shorthand for pnpm run watch
(ONLY for scripts that do not share the same name as already existing pnpm commands).
Running multiple scripts
You may run multiple scripts at the same time by using a regex instead of the script name.
pnpm run "/<regex>/"
Run all scripts that start with watch:
:
pnpm run "/^watch:.*/"
Details
In addition to the shell’s pre-existing PATH
, pnpm run
includes node_modules/.bin
in the PATH
provided to scripts
. This means that so long as you have a package installed, you can use it in a script like a regular command. For example, if you have eslint
installed, you can write up a script like so:
"lint": "eslint src --fix"
And even though eslint
is not installed globally in your shell, it will run.
For workspaces, <workspace root>/node_modules/.bin
is also added to the PATH
, so if a tool is installed in the workspace root, it may be called in any workspace package's scripts
.
Differences with npm run
By default, pnpm doesn't run arbitrary pre
and post
hooks for user-defined scripts (such as prestart
). This behavior, inherited from npm, caused scripts to be implicit rather than explicit, obfuscating the execution flow. It also led to surprising executions with pnpm serve
also running pnpm preserve
.
If for some reason you need the pre/post scripts behavior of npm, use the enable-pre-post-scripts
option.
Environment
There are some environment variables that pnpm automatically creates for the executed scripts. These environment variables may be used to get contextual information about the running process.
These are the environment variables created by pnpm:
- npm_command - contains the name of the executed command. If the executed command is
pnpm run
, then the value of this variable will be "run-script".
Parametreler
Any options for the run
command should be listed before the script's name. Options listed after the script's name are passed to the executed script.
All these will run pnpm CLI with the --silent
option:
pnpm run --silent watch
pnpm --silent run watch
pnpm --silent watch
Any arguments after the command's name are added to the executed script. So if watch
runs webpack --watch
, then this command:
pnpm run watch --no-color
will run:
webpack --watch --no-color
script-shell
- Default: null
- Type: path
The shell to use for scripts run with the pnpm run
command.
For instance, to force usage of Git Bash on Windows:
pnpm config set script-shell "C:\\Program Files\\git\\bin\\bash.exe"
shell-emulator
- Varsayılan: false
- Tip: Boolean
When true
, pnpm will use a JavaScript implementation of a bash-like shell to execute scripts.
This option simplifies cross-platform scripting. For instance, by default, the next script will fail on non-POSIX-compliant systems:
"scripts": {
"test": "NODE_ENV=test node test.js"
}
But if the shell-emulator
setting is set to true
, it will work on all platforms.
--recursive, -r
This runs an arbitrary command from each package's "scripts" object. If a package doesn't have the command, it is skipped. If none of the packages have the command, the command fails.
--if-present
You can use the --if-present
flag to avoid exiting with a non-zero exit code when the script is undefined. This lets you run potentially undefined scripts without breaking the execution chain.
--parallel
Completely disregard concurrency and topological sorting, running a given script immediately in all matching packages with prefixed streaming output. This is the preferred flag for long-running processes over many packages, for instance, a lengthy build process.
--stream
Stream output from child processes immediately, prefixed with the originating package directory. This allows output from different packages to be interleaved.
--aggregate-output
Aggregate output from child processes that are run in parallel, and only print output when the child process is finished. It makes reading large logs after running pnpm -r <command>
with --parallel
or with --workspace-concurrency=<number>
much easier (especially on CI). Only --reporter=append-only
is supported.
enable-pre-post-scripts
- Varsayılan: false
- Tip: Boolean
When true
, pnpm will run any pre/post scripts automatically. So running pnpm foo
will be like running pnpm prefoo && pnpm foo && pnpm postfoo
.
--resume-from <package_name>
Resume execution from a particular project. This can be useful if you are working with a large workspace and you want to restart a build at a particular project without running through all of the projects that precede it in the build order.
--report-summary
Record the result of the scripts executions into a pnpm-exec-summary.json
file.
An example of a pnpm-exec-summary.json
file:
{
"executionStatus": {
"/Users/zoltan/src/pnpm/pnpm/cli/command": {
"status": "passed",
"duration": 1861.143042
},
"/Users/zoltan/src/pnpm/pnpm/cli/common-cli-options-help": {
"status": "passed",
"duration": 1865.914958
}
}
Possible values of status
are: 'passed', 'queued', 'running'.
--reporter-hide-prefix
Hide workspace prefix from output from child processes that are run in parallel, and only print the raw output. This can be useful if you are running on CI and the output must be in a specific format without any prefixes (e.g. GitHub Actions annotations). Only --reporter=append-only
is supported.
