You can use pnpm using the --manager CLI option, e.g. yarn create tauri-app --manager pnpm.

pnpm create tauri-app
When I use this command, can it be default pnpm?

Next release of create-tauri-app will auto detect the package manager by checking an env var set by the package manager, but there is a bug in pnpm itself where it doesn't set that env var when using pnpm create.

For now and until pnpm fixes the bug, it is recommended to use --manager or -m flag

Curious if there's a ticket PNPM is using to track that bug. On a related note there's some discussion about using PNPM as a version manager for Node.js so that seems potentially related so I'll drop the link here for those looking to optimze DX around tooling integration: pnpm/pnpm#3434

[amrbashir]

here is the relevant pnpm issue pnpm/pnpm#3985

believe the blocking pnpm issue was just fixed. hopefully that means the env var will be available soon in pnpm. is there a good place to request an enhancement to drop the need for -m flag for scaffolding with pnpm? i'll start poking around a little. ☺️

EDIT: it appears as if this gh tooling integration workflow might be a good entrypoint assuming i found a good spot for the work and a tdd workflow is desirable. not totally sure though i'm new to tauri. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/.github/workflows/test-cta.yml

@vhscom yeah it is fixed in pnpm so users that use recent pnpm version will have the fix automatically, no need for more configuration or removal of -m flag.

By default, it will recognize the used package manager and can be overridden by --manager or -m flag.

It's a small but nice user affordance. And I appreciate it as PNPM is becoming my goto package manager for post-React apps built with Svelte. Thank you.

Yeah, many team members (myself included) are using pnpm as their main package manager already too!
