Please add --fail-if-not-present

[matthew-dean]

• I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Describe the user story

As a developer and maintainer of a monorepo, I'd like to enforce that everyone adds a test:ci script to any new packages, as there's a PNPM command that we run: pnpm -r test:ci. However, this script will silently skip any packages that don't have that script.

Describe the solution you'd like

We would want PNPM to check recursively that the script exists. Right now, there's a --if-present flag (which is not required for recursive script, and is added implicitly). So, it would be great for there to be a --fail-if-not-present flag.

Describe the drawbacks of your solution

No drawbacks. Existing behavior would stay the same.

Describe alternatives you've considered

To my knowledge, no NPM packages that I can find do this kind of checking for a script being defined in all monorepo packages, and IMO this is more the responsibility of the script runner (in this case, PNPM).

It might be better to support a new setting that lists the required scripts.

Like

{
  "pnpm": {
    "requiredScripts": ["test:ci"]
  }
}
