Pull request overview
Adds support for multiple install modes in the action so workflows can choose between a normal install, a frozen-lockfile install, a CI-style clean install, or skipping installs entirely.
Changes:
- Extend the
installinput to accepttrue/install,frozen-lockfile,ci, orfalse. - Update install execution to run the selected pnpm command (
pnpm install,pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, orpnpm ci) and improve related messaging. - Document the new modes and add workflow coverage for the new
installbehaviors and validation.

Review feedback on pnpm#23: - `command` was built before `--no-runtime` was appended, so a failing install reported `pnpm ci` while the log showed `pnpm ci --no-runtime`. Build it from the final args so every message matches. - `if (status)` treated a signal-terminated install as success, since spawnSync reports `status: null` with no `error` in that case. Fail on `signal`, and use `status !== 0`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FQ4xoewnc8tAGuQ8cyawRC

Learning: When using `actions/exec` (`getExecOutput` / `exec`), it is valid for the `commandLine` option to include both the command and its arguments in a single string (e.g., `getExecOutput('pnpm store path --silent')`). The library tokenizes `commandLine` internally (via `argStringToArray()`), so this behaves like passing an equivalent command + args array (e.g., `getExecOutput('pnpm', ['store','path','--silent'])`). In code reviews, do not flag this as incorrect—this matches documented behavior and a production-tested pattern.

A separate boolean rather than a value on `install`: the two are orthogonal — whether to install at all, and whether the install has to be described by a lockfile — and folding them together meant turning a boolean input into an enum, with an empty-value error to go with it. When set, the action looks for `pnpm-lock.yaml` in `working-directory` and above it, the way pnpm searches for the workspace root, and fails there and then if none exists. Running pnpm first only reaches the same conclusion later and through a worse message. The mode is narrower than the proposal it came from. Retested on the released 12.0.0 rather than the 12.0.0-rc.3 that PR was written against: an out-of-date lockfile now fails a plain `CI=true pnpm install` on 11 and 12 alike, so the divergence between the majors is gone. What the CI default still does not do is require a lockfile to exist — with none at all it resolves from the registry, writes one and exits 0 on both. That single case is what this closes. The `ci` mode from the proposal is dropped: `pnpm ci` adds a `pnpm clean` that only matters when `node_modules` survives between runs, and this action caches the store rather than `node_modules`. Failures now name the command actually run, and a process killed by a signal reports `status: null` with no `error` — a truthiness check on `status` alone let that pass as success.

require-lockfile install moderequire-lockfile input
Closes #8. Closes #10.
What this adds
A boolean
require-lockfile, defaultfalse:When set, the install has to be fully described by
pnpm-lock.yaml.installstays the boolean it has always been — the two are orthogonal (whether to install at all, and whether the install must be described by a lockfile), and folding the second into the first would have meant turning a boolean input into an enum, with an empty-value error to go with it.It fails before running pnpm
A missing lockfile is the whole reason the input exists, so the action answers that itself:
Running the install first only reaches the same conclusion later and through a worse message. The search goes upward from
working-directory, the way pnpm locates the workspace root — a project that is a workspace member keeps its lockfile above itself, and a check that looked only in the working directory would fail those setups wrongly.When a lockfile is found, the install runs with
--frozen-lockfile.Why this is narrower than the original proposal
This PR was first written against
12.0.0-rc.3, where pnpm 12 applied no CI frozen-lockfile default at all. That was fixed before 12.0.0 shipped. Retested on the released versions, with an out-of-date lockfile andCI=true:The majors agree again, and GitHub Actions always sets
CI, so an out-of-date lockfile already fails a plain install.require-lockfileadds nothing there.What the CI default still does not do is require a lockfile to exist:
A repository that never committed
pnpm-lock.yaml— or.gitignored it, or used a sparse checkout — resolves fresh from the registry and goes green on unpinned dependencies. That single case is the whole justification for this input.It narrows further: with
cache: truea missing lockfile already fails, becausehashFilesmatches nothing and the cache restore throws.require-lockfilefails with a message that names the real problem, and coverscache: falsejobs too.What was dropped
The
cimode from the original proposal.pnpm ciispnpm cleanplus--frozen-lockfile, and the clean half only matters whennode_modulessurvives between runs — this action caches the pnpm store, notnode_modules, so on ephemeral runners it is a no-op with a cost. Worth revisiting if self-hosted users ask for it.Also in here
Two fixes from the original that stand on their own, independent of the feature:
status: nullwith noerror, so the previous truthiness check onstatustreated it as success. Now checked explicitly.About the default
Issue #10 also asks for frozen installs by default. This PR does not change the default — that would break workflows that rely on the lockfile being updated, and belongs in a major.
Tests
One job covering the three states in sequence:
