External processes like SSH passphrase prompts can write to the terminal between progress updates. The previous renderer used `ansi-diff`, which only overwrites the characters it knows changed, so leftover characters from the external output stayed visible on the progress line — e.g. `added 0sa':`, where `sa':` is a fragment of `Enter passphrase for key '.../.ssh/id_rsa':`. Closes https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12350 ## Summary The interactive (non-append-only) reporter now redraws the whole frame in place on each update instead of incrementally diffing it: - return the cursor to the top-left of the previous frame (`ESC[<rows>A` followed by a carriage return, so the redraw starts at column 0 even if an external process left the cursor mid-line), - erase from there to the end of the display (`ESC[0J`), - reprint the frame — all in a single atomic write, so there is no flicker. Because the whole region is erased on every frame, any characters an external process wrote in between are cleared. This matches pacquet's `Output::Frame` rendering (the column-reset hardening was applied to both stacks). The now-unused `ansi-diff` dependency has been removed. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Zoltan Kochan <z@kochan.io>
@pnpm/cli.default-reporter
The default reporter of pnpm
Installation
pnpm add @pnpm/cli.default-reporter
Usage
import { streamParser } from '@pnpm/logger'
import { initDefaultReporter } from '@pnpm/cli.default-reporter'
const stopReporting = initDefaultReporter({
context: {
argv: [],
},
streamParser,
})
try {
// calling some pnpm APIs
} finally {
stopReporting()
}
pnpm-render bin
Installing this package exposes a pnpm-render bin that reads pnpm-shaped NDJSON from stdin and renders it through the default reporter. This lets external tools that emit pnpm:* log records reuse pnpm's renderer.
For example, pacquet emits the same wire format under --reporter=ndjson (to stderr), so its output can be piped through pnpm-render:
pacquet install --reporter=ndjson 2>&1 >/dev/null | pnpm-render
The redirect (2>&1 >/dev/null) is needed because pacquet writes the NDJSON stream to stderr.
An optional first positional argument sets the command name (defaults to install); pass it to match the verb the producer is running so command-specific renderers behave correctly:
pacquet add lodash --reporter=ndjson 2>&1 >/dev/null | pnpm-render add
Style Guide
- Never use blue or grey as font color as they are hard to read in many consoles.
- Use dim instead of grey
- Use cyan bright instead of blue
- Don't hide the CLI cursor. (It is easier to never hide but it is really needed only when scripts are running.)
- Don't use green and yellow to distinct something.
