Bug when using pnpm v10 + Electron

[philfontaine]

What happened?

When using pnpm v10, it now asks to approve builds using pnpm approve-builds. Approving electron is necessary for electron to work in dev using quasar dev -m electron.

Approving dependencies will create a file called pnpm-workspace.yaml with the following content

onlyBuiltDependencies:
  - electron
  - esbuild

When building using quasar build -m electron, pnpm will detect the presence of a workspace because of this newly created yaml file. When installing the production node_modules inside dist/electron/UnPackaged, pnpm will try to install the node_modules at the project root instead of inside this sub-directory. Doing so, pnpm will first purge the exisiting node_modules, and the build will fail.

The workaround is to add --ignore-workspace in the pnpm install --prod command.

What did you expect to happen?

The build should succeed.
