Yarn PnP: require.cache and require.extensions are undefined in dependencies (regression in nodejs v22.22.3) #7234

Description

@web2ls

Self-service

  • I'd be willing to implement a fix

Describe the bug

Under Yarn PnP on Node.js v22.22.3 through v22.23.1, the require.extensions and require.cache properties are undefined in the require function that packages receive. This breaks tools like webpack-cli (via rechoir) and any other packages that access these standard CommonJS properties.

To reproduce

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Save this script to a file named `repro.sh`, then run it:
#
#   bash repro.sh
#
# Without an argument, the script creates `node-yarn-pnp-repro` in the
# directory from which the script is run.
#
# Or choose the directory where the test project will be created:
#
#   bash repro.sh ./my-pnp-repro

set -euo pipefail

repro_dir="${1:-node-yarn-pnp-repro}"

if [[ -e "$repro_dir" ]]; then
  echo "Directory already exists: $repro_dir" >&2
  exit 1
fi

mkdir "$repro_dir"
cd "$repro_dir"

echo "Reproduction directory: $PWD"
