Summary

Closes #15141.

A configured .js pnpmfile never reached Node. The existence check behind the pnpmfile setting recognized only .cjs and .mjs, so pnpmfile: pnpmfile.js failed the install with ERR_PNPM_PNPMFILE_NOT_FOUND for a file that was on disk. Both hook execution paths also read the module format off the extension and treated everything but .mjs as CommonJS.

The finder now recognizes .js, and both paths load the pnpmfile through one shared CommonJS helper. It starts with require, which keeps the complete module.exports of a CommonJS pnpmfile, and falls back to dynamic import() when Node reports the file as an ES module or as an async one. Node therefore decides the format from the nearest package.json. An ES module namespace is normalized back to its default export unless it exports hooks, finders, resolvers, or fetchers itself, so export default { hooks } is honored while an empty namespace stays a harmless no-op.

pnpm 11 loads a configured pnpmfile with require, which already follows the nearest package.json, so the reporter's project works there and no pnpm v11 change is needed.

Validation:

  • A new CLI test installs a project whose pnpmfile setting names pnpmfile.js, once under "type": "module" and once under "type": "commonjs", and asserts which format the hook ran as. Reverting the finder's .js case makes it fail with the ERR_PNPM_PNPMFILE_NOT_FOUND the issue reports.
  • pnpm test:rust -p pnpm-hooks -p pnpm-cli -E 'test(/^hooks::/) or package(pnpm-hooks)': 85 passed. The rest of the workspace suite is left to CI.
  • The pre-push hook's pnpm run pre-push:rust: rustfmt, taplo, workspace clippy with -D warnings, cargo doc, dylint, and typos.

Squash Commit Body

The existence check behind the `pnpmfile` setting recognized only `.cjs` and
`.mjs`, so a configured `.js` pnpmfile failed the install with
ERR_PNPM_PNPMFILE_NOT_FOUND, and both hook execution paths read the module
format off the extension.

Recognize `.js` in the finder and load every pnpmfile through one shared
CommonJS helper: `require` first, so a CommonJS pnpmfile keeps its complete
`module.exports`, then dynamic `import()` when Node reports an ES module or an
async one. Node then follows the nearest package scope. An ES module namespace
is normalized back to its default export unless it exports `hooks`, `finders`,
`resolvers`, or `fetchers` itself; a namespace without a default export is kept
as is, so an empty ES module pnpmfile stays a no-op.

Closes pnpm/pnpm#15141.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The hooks runtime now recognizes configured .js pnpmfiles, selects CommonJS or ESM using the nearest package scope, and normalizes default ESM exports. Runtime, integration, and regression tests cover these loading paths.

Changes

Package-scoped JavaScript pnpmfile loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Finder and shared loader
pnpm/crates/hooks/src/finder.rs, pnpm/crates/hooks/src/lib.rs, pnpm/crates/hooks/src/load_pnpmfile.cjs
Configured .js paths are checked directly. The shared loader is embedded for crate-internal use and normalizes ESM namespace and default exports.
Runtime loading integration
pnpm/crates/hooks/src/node_runtime.rs, pnpm/crates/hooks/src/worker.rs, pnpm/crates/hooks/src/worker.cjs
Worker runners use dynamic import() and the shared loader. Node selects the pnpmfile format from its extension and nearest package scope.
Behavioral coverage and release metadata
pnpm/crates/hooks/tests/node_hooks/configuration.rs, pnpm/crates/hooks/tests/node_hooks/lockfile.rs, pnpm/crates/hooks/tests/node_hooks/reporting.rs, pnpm/crates/cli/tests/suite/hooks.rs, .changeset/configured-js-pnpmfiles.md
Tests cover configured .js pnpmfiles, nearest package types, default ESM exports, empty .mjs files, mixed CJS exports, and the reported install failure. A patch-release changeset was added.

Integrated-Benchmark Report (Linux)

Commit: 8a9e8608690d

Regular scenarios report direct and pnpr installs. The peer-heavy resolver scenario compares current Rust, main Rust, and TypeScript pnpm; the linked-workspace scenario compares current Rust against main Rust. Bencher consumes pacquet@HEAD and pnpr@HEAD.

The tables below show mean ± σ; Bencher thresholds on the minimum latency, which is far less perturbed by shared-runner contention (noise only adds time).

Use dynamic import for configured .js pnpmfiles.

Node now applies the nearest package scope while CommonJS exports keep working.

Refs pnpm#15141
The crate's tests cover the loader, but nothing pinned the install the issue
reports, where the `pnpmfile` setting names a `.js` file. Add a CLI test that
runs an install against both a module-scoped and a CommonJS-scoped
`pnpmfile.js`, each written in syntax only its own format accepts, so the marker
the hook writes names the format Node loaded. Reverting the finder's `.js` case
makes it fail with ERR_PNPM_PNPMFILE_NOT_FOUND, the error the issue reports.

Name each case of the `update_config` matrix, since three of its five entries
share a file name, and take the warnings lock once instead of twice.

The imports of a module stay one block, and the constant now states what the
script it holds is expected to provide.

Every configured `.js` pnpmfile failed the install, CommonJS ones included, so a

1. A test comment describes old behavior ✓ Resolved 📘 Rule violation ⚙ Maintainability
Description
The doc comment above a_configured_js_pnpmfile_follows_the_nearest_package_type says the install
used to reject the configured paths and describes the former error. This historical explanation
remains attached to the regression test and can become stale independently of the behavior the test
currently guarantees.

2. Release note blends old and new behavior ✓ Resolved 📘 Rule violation ⚙ Maintainability
Description
The first sentence in .changeset/configured-js-pnpmfiles.md uses no longer fails to combine the
corrected behavior with the former failure instead of giving that failure its own past-tense
sentence. Because this is a bug-fix entry, readers cannot cleanly distinguish the current contract
from the historical defect.
Code

.changeset/configured-js-pnpmfiles.md[5]

+A configured `.js` pnpmfile no longer fails the install with `ERR_PNPM_PNPMFILE_NOT_FOUND`. pnpm loads it as CommonJS or as an ES module, following the nearest `package.json` [pnpm/pnpm#15141](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/15141). An ES module pnpmfile may also export its hooks with `export default`.

3. Users miss supported hook formats 🔗 Cross-repo conflict ≡ Correctness
Description
pnpmfile_exists now recognizes configured .js paths, while loadPnpmfile follows the nearest
package scope and accepts a sole ESM default export. pnpm.io still says hooks can only use .mjs or
.cjs and does not document the configured .js semantics, leaving the v12 configuration contract
inaccurate.

●● Moderate

Documentation omissions for newly supported configuration are plausible, but no close accepted or
rejected precedent establishes this requirement.

PR-#14084

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The PR expands configured-path validation to include .js and its shared loader resolves module
format through Node while normalizing default-only ESM exports. The canonical pnpm.io page
explicitly limits hook files to .mjs and .cjs, and its pnpmfile setting section does not
describe the newly supported .js behavior.

## Issue description
The Rust pnpm v12 CLI now supports configured `.js` pnpmfiles whose format follows the nearest `package.json`, including ESM pnpmfiles that expose hooks through a default export, but pnpm.io documents only `.mjs` and `.cjs`. Coordinate a pnpm.io documentation update so the public configuration contract matches the released behavior.

Update pnpm.io's current pnpmfile documentation to explain that explicitly configured `.js` paths are supported, Node determines their CommonJS or ESM format from the nearest `package.json`, and an ESM pnpmfile may expose its hooks through `export default`; retain `.pnpmfile.mjs` as the documented default filename.

Verified Qodo's three findings on a3ad260.

  • Release note blends old and new behavior — holds. AGENTS.md asks for the previous behavior in its own past-tense sentence. The changeset now leads with what pnpm does and keeps the old failure in a sentence of its own (8a9e860).
  • A test comment describes old behavior — holds. AGENTS.md keeps "used to" framing out of the source. The test's doc comment now states what the install guarantees, and the history stayed in the commit message (8a9e860).
  • Users miss supported hook formats — real, but not something this PR can carry. pnpm.io is a separate repository, and pnpm 11 already loads a configured .js pnpmfile through require, so that documentation gap predates this fix rather than arriving with it. What is new is that an ES module pnpmfile may expose its hooks through export default. Both want a pnpm.io change, which is not part of this PR.

Review pass on this PR

Rebased onto main (f922cba) and reviewed the whole change. The fix holds up. The two halves are the right ones: the finder has to accept .js, and the loader has to ask Node rather than the extension. I checked each branch the shared helper can take against Node 26: require of an ES module returns a namespace tagged [object Module], a top-level await raises ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE during linking so nothing is evaluated twice when the import() retry runs, and a namespace with only a default export carries __esModule plus default, which is what the normalization keys on.

What I pushed on top (52c8db6, 23f97c1/4a167e7, a3ad260, 8a9e860):

  • A CLI test for the install the issue reports. It configures pnpmfile: pnpmfile.js and installs twice, once with the project declaring "type": "module" and once "type": "commonjs", each pnpmfile written in syntax only its own format accepts, so the marker the hook writes names the format Node loaded. Reverting the finder's .js case makes it fail with the reported ERR_PNPM_PNPMFILE_NOT_FOUND. The crate-level tests covered the loader, but nothing covered the install.
  • Names for the five cases of the update_config matrix, since three of them share the file name pnpmfile.js and a failure could not say which one broke.
  • A rewritten changeset. Every configured .js pnpmfile failed the install, CommonJS ones included, so a note about ES module loading described only part of the fix.
  • The loader constant moved below the crate's imports, and a title that says what the PR does.

Verified locally: pnpm test:rust -p pnpm-hooks -p pnpm-cli -E 'test(/^hooks::/) or package(pnpm-hooks)', 85 passed, plus the pre-push hook's rustfmt, taplo, workspace clippy, cargo doc, dylint and typos. CI ran the full Rust suite on Linux, macOS and Windows.

Declined, with reasons:

  • pnpm.io documents only .pnpmfile.cjs and .pnpmfile.mjs (Qodo's third finding). Real, but a separate repository, and pnpm 11 already loads a configured .js pnpmfile through require, so the gap predates this change. The export default support is new to pnpm 12 and does want a docs line. A pnpm.io follow-up, not this PR.
  • .pnpmfile.js in default discovery, and pnpmfile.js for config-dependency plugins. pnpm 11 looks for only .mjs and .cjs in both places, so widening them would be a new feature rather than this fix.
  • One rough edge worth a human's call. On a Node without require(esm), a CommonJS pnpmfile that requires an ESM-only dependency throws ERR_REQUIRE_ESM from inside itself, and the helper cannot tell that from the pnpmfile being an ES module, so it retries through import(). The error still reaches the user unchanged, but the pnpmfile's top-level side effects up to that point run twice. Telling the two apart means matching Node's error text against the pnpmfile path, which is worse than the double evaluation, so I left it alone.

Status: all 45 checks pass on 8a9e860. CodeRabbit reported no actionable comments, Greptile approved, Qodo marked its two rule findings resolved and its third is answered above. No review thread is open. The PR keeps its ready-for-review state and waits on a maintainer.

Congrats on merging your first pull request! 🎉🎉🎉

u9g pushed a commit to u9g/pnpm that referenced this pull request Sep 25, 2026
The existence check behind the `pnpmfile` setting recognized only `.cjs` and
`.mjs`, so a configured `.js` pnpmfile failed the install with
ERR_PNPM_PNPMFILE_NOT_FOUND, and both hook execution paths read the module
format off the extension.

Recognize `.js` in the finder and load every pnpmfile through one shared
CommonJS helper: `require` first, so a CommonJS pnpmfile keeps its complete
`module.exports`, then dynamic `import()` when Node reports an ES module or an
async one. Node then follows the nearest package scope. An ES module namespace
is normalized back to its default export unless it exports `hooks`, `finders`,
`resolvers`, or `fetchers` itself; a namespace without a default export is kept
as is, so an empty ES module pnpmfile stays a no-op.

Closes pnpm#15141.
