Zoltan Kochan 38bdfefdf9 fix: upgrade @pnpm/semver-diff and @pnpm/colorize-semver-diff to v2 (#11555)
- Upgrade `@pnpm/semver-diff` and `@pnpm/colorize-semver-diff` to v2, which expose the helpers as named exports.
- Update the call sites in `@pnpm/deps.inspection.commands` and `@pnpm/installing.commands` from `semverDiff.default(...)` / `colorizeSemverDiff.default(...)` to plain `semverDiff(...)` / `colorizeSemverDiff(...)`.
- Refactor `buildPkgChoice` in `getUpdateChoices.ts` to build the row as a `string[]`. Previously the row was an object whose values relied on `nextVersion` being inferred as `any` (a side effect of the broken `.default` access poisoning the type) — that masked `outdatedPkg.current` and `outdatedPkg.workspace` being `string | undefined`. With the v2 named imports the types tighten up, and `Object.values(lineParts)` would no longer assign cleanly to `string[]`.

The previous v1 packages exported their helpers as `module.exports.default = fn`, so `.default(...)` only worked through the legacy CJS interop — and it broke under Node.js ESM (which is what the Jest runner uses with `--experimental-vm-modules`). Most of the `deps/inspection/commands` outdated tests had been silently failing on `main` with `TypeError: semverDiff.default is not a function`; this change brings them back.

pnpm

Fast, disk space efficient package manager:

  • Fast. Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark).
  • Efficient. Files inside node_modules are linked from a single content-addressable storage.
  • Great for monorepos.
  • Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its package.json.
  • Deterministic. Has a lockfile called pnpm-lock.yaml.
  • Works as a Node.js version manager. See pnpm runtime.
  • Works everywhere. Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Battle-tested. Used in production by teams of all sizes since 2016.
  • See the full feature comparison with npm and Yarn.

To quote the Rush team:

Microsoft uses pnpm in Rush repos with hundreds of projects and hundreds of PRs per day, and weve found it to be very fast and reliable.

Background

pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage, so:

  1. If you depend on different versions of lodash, only the files that differ are added to the store. If lodash has 100 files, and a new version has a change only in one of those files, pnpm update will only add 1 new file to the storage.
  2. All the files are saved in a single place on the disk. When packages are installed, their files are linked from that single place consuming no additional disk space. Linking is performed using either hard-links or reflinks (copy-on-write).

As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations! If you'd like more details about the unique node_modules structure that pnpm creates and why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: Flat node_modules is not the only way.
