Running bump in monorepo using pnpm clears node_modules

[kjellknapen]

When using the bump or publish command my node_modules (of the root workspace) are always cleared since the changes in #942.

When running the same command pnpm install --lockfile-only --ignore-scripts in my terminal if the package versions have been bumped, the node_modules are not removed.

I have checked the codebase of execa (package used to call pnpm) and in the pnpm codebase. But I can't seem to find any reason why it deletes the node_modules when running through beachball and why they are not deleted when running the pnpm command myself.

If you run pnpm in a subdirectory, does that clear the root node_modules? I'm wondering if the issue is that beachball is running pnpm in the wrong directory.

No it doesn't clear the node_modules then either. It's a weird bug. I don't even know if it's a beachball or pnpm issue or maybe a combination where beachball enables a certain config or option in pnpm forcing the "recreation" of the node_modules
