pnpm Dedupe Hits CLI Execution Timeout Limit

How are you running Renovate?

Hi there,

Recently (about two weeks ago) my job started to get timeout. After checking the log and tried to disable the pnpmDedupe postUpdateOptions, I found out that the pnpm dedupe command hits the 15 min execution limit.

• I am using the Mend Community version, is there a way to set the CLI execution time limit, like setting the environment variable RENOVATE_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT? There are still some rooms before I hit the 30 mins limit on the job.
• I am not sure if this is due to my dependency growth, or a regression on Renovate (CLI or cloud environment), is there anything I could provide other than the logs below to help debug this further? I do see the log says node_modules will be removed and reinstalled from scratch, which seems like the culprit.

It's waiting on stdin, so no increase in timeout will help. There's some other pnpm discussions raised in past few weeks relateed to this

Thanks, I just realized it is asking and waiting for stdin, those characters (for colorful output?) make it hard to read. And I also found #36006 and #35840 after your clue.

With the fix of #36153, I guess I will just have to wait for Renovate v40.31.1 to be available on Mend Community Cloud (currently at v40.40.3), right? And sounds like that fix will avoid the prompt and continue the reinstallation of node_moudles, is my understanding correct? The fix should already be in place but it is not working.

Is the investigation on why the storeDir mismatch (#35840) ongoing? Maybe on the Renovate side we could try to run pnpm config set store-dir xxx (pnpm/pnpm#7727 (comment)) to fix the problem on top of #35807, that way it will fix the root cause and avoid reinstalling the dependencies.
