npx only allow pnpm

[lukasnemec1604]

why would you make it only run pnpm or yarn but withoout allowing to install plugin with npm?

If you install and use it, it won't restrict your project's package manager.

For this project, to maintain consistency with the lock file, and it's using pnpm workspace.

thanks for the explanation.

Unfortunately, this setting breaks installation, at least when you have a custom package registry configured inside your project via the .npmrc file.

Authentification itself works though, it is possible to add other packages

@alexlyul Would you provide a reproduction?

In my local machine (Windows), it works well with npm@8.19.2 (with custom registry in .npmrc).

Hello @qmhc! I have tried to reproduce it in a new blank project.

We are using the AWS code artifact as a private package registry.

Node and npm, (on windows 11)

$ node -v && npm -v
v18.13.0
8.19.2

package.json file:

{
  "name": "grid-layout-plus-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "grid-layout-plus": "^1.0.2"
  }
}

I have also tried publishing your package without the npx only-allow pnpm line and it works then
