PNPM support is broken

[Alisson Cavalcante Agiani]

Running commitizen init cz-conventional-changelog --pnpm --save-dev --save-exact gives me this output:

I installed commitizen locally inside the repository and then ran the initialization with: pnpm dlx commitizen init cz-conventional-changelog --pnpm --save-dev --save-exact and it worked just fine.

pnpm version: 9.1.3

[Alisson Cavalcante Agiani]

Was it a monorepo?

[Tobias Stadler]

Yeah just a single repository with a single package.json file. No nxor lerna involved.

[Alisson Cavalcante Agiani]

So you had dependencies with workspace on the root folder and it still worked?

[Tobias Stadler]

Yes, that‘s correct.

[Alisson Cavalcante Agiani]

Oh wait, you used pnpm dlx

[Tobias Stadler]

Yes, its the same as pnpx. As stated above I have installed commitizen as a project devDependency and not as a global package.

@thelinuxlich Did you manage to get it up and running? If so, I guess we should close this issue. 😄
