is there a way to set the package manager used by the pulumi cli? I prefer to use
pnpm
rather than
npm
or ``yarn``

We recently added the ability to use yarn instead of npm - but it looks like we hardcored yarn there instead of allowing and alternative command to run - https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/3556. Could you open an issue with this request?

turns out pulumi relies on some transitive dependencies in order to run
up
so some resources can’t be found. I’ll gather some information and create an issue

@bored-jackal-93148 How does it turn out for you using Pulumi with
pnpm
? Last time I tried this (month ago), I got stuck that
pnpm
can’t build/download the needed
grpc
dependency. Maybe that changed? I would prefer to use
pnpm
as well. That will download a Pulumi provider binaries one time wherever I’ll use it locally. Besides the clearly & reliably resolved dependencies.

Ran into issues with a reliance on translative dependencies when building lambda functions that I haven’t been able to resolve.

@bored-jackal-93148 Oh, ok. Can you give some details? I think the
grpc
issue I experienced can be solved otherways. I’ll try to use
pnpm
again now 🙂
