Hey @makeryi, thanks a lot for this contribution! Looks like the slow tests are failing at least because pnpm and bun are not installed in our CI configs.

Thanks for your reply! I will look into the CI configs and try to make the tests pass.

I don't think installing bun and pnpm in CI is the right move here. Will the tests still locally pass without those installed?

[BlackHole1]

@makeryi Thank you for your PR!

I have also encountered a similar error in #3178. Maybe @caoxiemeihao can provide some suggestions.

I’m not very familiar with bun, so it might be better to split this PR into two separate PRs if possible.

I added bun and pnpm as NODE_INSTALLER in this test file packages/api/core/test/slow/api_spec_slow.ts, so i add bun and pnpm installaion in CI. Maybe it is a wrong way.

The tests still failed locally even with bun and pnpm installed.

@makeryi Thank you for your PR!

I have also encountered a similar error in #3178. Maybe @caoxiemeihao can provide some suggestions.

I’m not very familiar with bun, so it might be better to split this PR into two separate PRs if possible.

Thanks for your context!

I am not familiar with bun too. Node and Bun are two different runtimes, maybe split this PR into two separate PRs is better than now. If so, i will make this PR to support pnpm only and create a new PR to support bun if i can do that.

Haha! The slow test error from #3178 only appears in Windows machine. 😅

[erickzhao]

Thanks for this!

[makeryi]

Finally all tests passed (both in my local machine and CI)

Hey @makeryi, thanks for the quick turnaround time for addressing my feedback! One more thing I wanted to say is that I liked the npm_config_user_agent approach by default (didn't know that var existed before you raised this PR). I think NODE_INSTALLER should be an override for it with npm_config_user_agent being used by default. 🤔

Thanks for your suggestion!
I did it and added real user agent data for testing the npm_config_user_agent env var.

[TranquilMarmot]

Any chance of this getting merged soon? Need somebody to try it out?

[BlackHole1]

@TranquilMarmot I just came back from vacation, and recently I will review this PR.

[TobiasMouritzen]

Can I do something to help this merge? I would very much like to use electron-forge in my pnpm monorepo.

[makeryi]

Sorry for the late reply.
I think everything works fine now.

[aogg]

pnpm create electron-app@latest hid-electron --template=vite

It doesn't work.

[seahindeniz]

Hi @makeryi, the PR is closed. Unintentional action perhaps? 🤔

[erickzhao]

I can take this up and reland it if @makeryi is no longer interested. 🥺

[artrixdotdev]

any updates?

[akash07k]

@makeryi Have you discontinued the work on it? asking because the PR is closed.
