Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new working-directory input changes where manifests, cache dependencies, and pnpm install are resolved. Because the documented repository boundary is not enforced, absolute or parent-relative values could direct these operations outside the checkout, creating a bounded security and correctness risk that should have explicit owner awareness before merge.

`package-json-file` was inherited from pnpm/action-setup, where it had one job: name the file holding `packageManager`. In v2 it also picks the manifest `devEngines` is read from and gates whether `pnpm install` runs — and the fix for a project outside the repository root needs a fourth meaning, the directory to install in. The name stopped describing it. `working-directory` says the one thing all four need: where the project is. Config is read from the manifest there, `pnpm install` runs there, and `cache-dependency-path` resolves relative to it — without that last part a subdirectory project with `cache: true` matches no lockfile and the restore throws. It follows ruby/setup-ruby and astral-sh/setup-uv, which both name this input the same and use it for the same job. `package-json-file` keeps working on its own, deprecated, with the directory holding the file becoming the working directory; setting both is an error. pnpm resolves the workspace root by walking up from wherever it starts, so this is only needed when a project's own root is not the repository root — at the root, an install exits 0 having installed nothing.

Rebasing the configured value onto the working directory broke every workflow that already pointed it into a subdirectory: with `package-json-file: web/package.json` and `cache-dependency-path: web/pnpm-lock.yaml`, it became `web/web/pnpm-lock.yaml`, matched nothing, and the restore threw. Only the default follows the working directory now, so a subdirectory project still finds its own lockfile without a workflow naming it twice, and the input keeps the meaning it has always been documented with. The pattern rewriting that existed only to serve the old behaviour is gone. Also resolve the manifest against the workspace with `path.resolve` rather than `path.join` — an absolute or `~`-expanded path silently lost the workspace prefix, so the existence check missed the manifest and the install was skipped.

Fixes #17. Builds on @haines' original fix, which is preserved as the first commit.
Why
When a project's root is not the repository root — a site in
docs/, an app inweb/— the action runspnpm installat the repository root. pnpm finds no manifest there and does nothing:Exit
0, nothing installed. The setup step goes green and the job fails later with a confusing module-not-found.The natural fix is to install in the project's directory, and #17 asked for that. But the only input that knows where the project is,
package-json-file, is the wrong shape for the job. It came frompnpm/action-setup, where it had exactly one purpose — name the file holdingpackageManager. In v2 it grew two more (pick the manifestdevEnginesis read from; gate whetherpnpm installruns at all), and using its directory as the install location would be a fourth. Its name describes roughly a quarter of that, and it can legitimately point at a.yamlfile, so "the package.json file" is not even accurate.What
working-directory— default., relative toGITHUB_WORKSPACE— says the one thing all four uses need: where the project is.packageManageranddevEnginesare read from the manifest therepnpm installruns therecache-dependency-pathresolves relative to itThe last one matters as much as the first: a subdirectory project keeps its lockfile in
docs/, so without rebasing the patterns,hashFilesmatches nothing andcache: truefails outright with "Some specified paths were not resolved". Fixing the install directory alone would leave that broken.The name follows ruby/setup-ruby ("The working directory to use for resolving paths for .ruby-version, .tool-versions, mise.toml and Gemfile.lock") and astral-sh/setup-uv ("The directory to execute all commands in and look for files such as pyproject.toml") — both use one directory input for config resolution plus command execution, which is exactly this. It is also a first-class GitHub workflow key on
run:steps, so it needs no explanation.This is not needed inside a pnpm workspace. pnpm locates the workspace root by walking up from wherever it starts, so an install anywhere in a workspace installs the whole workspace. Reach for it when a project's own root is not the repository root.
Compatibility
package-json-filekeeps working on its own, now deprecated: the directory holding the file becomes the working directory. Setting both inputs is an error that names the replacement.One behaviour change worth a release note:
package-json-filenow moves wherepnpm installruns, which it did not before. A repository with a rootpackage.jsonthat set it purely to read config from elsewhere would see its install relocate. Rare, but real.Manifest discovery probes
package.jsonthenpackage.yaml, preserving the YAML support that previously existed only because the file could be named explicitly.Tests
src/cache-restore/paths.ts, dependency-free likekeys.ts, with unit tests for the root case, a subdirectory, multi-line values,!exclusions, and absolute patterns.docs/so there is a real lockfile, then asserts the install landed indocs/node_modules, that nonode_modulesappeared at the root, and thatpackageManagercame fromdocs/package.json. It runs withcache: trueon purpose: if the rebasing regresses, the action throws and the job fails.package-json-filestill works — the same fix reached through the old input.Summary by CodeRabbit
