Run pnpm nuxt upgrade in monorepo

[dwightjack]

I have a pnpm monorepo including a Nuxt3 application with the following structure:

packages/
    app/
        package.json <-- nuxt is defined here 
pnpm-lock.yaml

If I run pnpm --filter=app exec nuxt upgrade --dedupe, the Nuxt CLI cannot locate the lock file.

$ pnpm --filter=app exec nuxt upgrade --dedupe
ℹ Package manager: pnpm 9.3.0                                                                                                       
ℹ Current Nuxt version: 3.17.5                                                                                      

 ERROR  Unable to find any lock files in /.../packages/app

My guess is that the command should traverse up to locate the correct lock file. Looking at the source code, I wonder if this might even be an issue with the https://github.com/unjs/nypm package 🤔

Any hint on how to solve the issue?

I’m also running into this in a monorepo, even with npm.

Setup

• Nuxt: 4.3.1
• npm: 10.9.4
• Command run from app dir: npx nuxt upgrade --dedupe
• Repo layout:
  • apps/web/package.json
  • apps/web/package-lock.json
  • no JS lockfile at monorepo root

What happens

From apps/web/, nuxt upgrade prints:

Unable to find any lock files in ...

It looks like lockfile detection is checking the workspace root instead of the current app directory. In my case the lockfile exists in the app directory, so the message is misleading.
