Can install report downloaded packages?

[Fish-in-a-Barrel]

In my CI environment, I'm seeing a higher download count than I expect, and I'm trying to figure out how to investigate that further.

When running pnpm install, is there a way to have it list the packages that it had to download versus those it linked from the cache?

pnpm install --reporter ndjson

Well, that's certainly a complete report.

Any idea how to find the 20 things that were downloaded in this 10k line file? I've searched for 'download', but that's not found. I tried filtering out everything that was a successful cache hit, but that's not leaving anything. So either I'm not able to find the right message, it's not logging the download, or the "downloaded" count doesn't mean what I think it does.

When package is downloaded, a "fetched" event is logged

When a package is found in the store, it will be "found_in_store"

pnpm/packages/default-reporter/src/reporterForClient/reportProgress.ts

Lines 133 to 138 in 930e104

	case 'fetched':
	previousProgressStatsByRequirer[log.requester].fetched++
	break
	case 'found_in_store':
	previousProgressStatsByRequirer[log.requester].reused++
	break

That's odd then. Whenever my pipeline runs, the standard reporter counts 20 downloaded packages, but there are zero "fetched" log entries in the ndjson log.
