pnpm approve-builds

Added in: v10.1.0

Approve dependencies for running scripts during installation.

The approved dependencies are added to the allowBuilds map in pnpm-workspace.yaml with a value of true, while unapproved ones are saved with a value of false. You can also update these settings manually if you prefer.

Utilisation

You can run pnpm approve-builds without arguments to get an interactive prompt, or pass package names as positional arguments:

pnpm approve-builds esbuild fsevents !core-js

Prefix a package name with ! to deny it. Only mentioned packages are affected; the rest are left untouched.

During install, packages with ignored builds that are not yet listed in allowBuilds are automatically added to pnpm-workspace.yaml with a placeholder value, so you can manually set them to true or false.

Options

--all

Added in: v10.32.0

Approve all pending builds without interactive prompts.

--global, -g

Added in: v10.4.0

Approve dependencies of globally installed packages.
