These scripts switched from pnpx to pnpm exec sv ..., but sv is not listed as a dependency/devDependency anywhere in the repo, so pnpm exec sv will fail. If the intent is to run Svelte's generator without adding it as a dependency, use pnpm dlx sv ... (or keep pnpx).

These scripts now use pnpm exec create-next-app / pnpm exec create-vite, but those packages are not present in workspace dependencies, so the commands won't be found. Either add create-next-app and create-vite as (dev)dependencies of this package, or use pnpm dlx create-next-app@latest ... / pnpm dlx create-vite@latest ... (or keep pnpx).

pnpm exec vs pnpx difference behavior uninstalled packages

💡 Result:

  • pnpm exec <cmd>: runs a command in the context of the current project by adding the project’s node_modules/.bin to PATH, so it can execute binaries from already-installed dependencies. If the binary/package isn’t installed in the project, it typically won’t be found. [1]

  • pnpx <pkg-or-cmd> (deprecated) / pnpm dlx <pkg>: runs a package without adding it to your project dependencies by fetching it from the registry and running it in a temporary/hotloaded environment—so it works even when the package is not installed in your project. [2] Older pnpx also had behavior around installing missing packages (with prompts / yes/no flags). [3]

  • Status / recommendation: pnpx was slated for removal; pnpm recommends using pnpm exec (local, installed) and pnpm dlx (temporary, not installed) instead. [4]

Replace pnpm exec with pnpm dlx for scaffolding tools that aren't installed.

Changing from pnpx (or npx) to pnpm exec breaks these test scripts. pnpm exec only runs binaries from locally installed packages, but sv, create-next-app, and create-vite are not dependencies of this package or the monorepo root. These are scaffolding tools meant to be downloaded on-demand.

pnpm dlx is pnpm's replacement for npx—it downloads and runs packages temporarily without requiring installation. Use it for these commands:

P1 pnpm exec cannot locate uninstalled scaffold tools

pnpm exec only runs binaries that are already present in node_modules/.bin. The tools sv (SvelteKit CLI), create-next-app, and create-vite are not listed as dependencies anywhere in the workspace (neither in this package's devDependencies nor in the root package.json). Calling pnpm exec sv create, pnpm exec create-next-app, and pnpm exec create-vite will therefore fail with a "command not found" error for anyone running these test scripts.

The original pnpx <pkg> (alias for pnpm dlx) was correct here because it fetches and executes packages from the registry without requiring them to be installed locally. These scaffold tools are one-off CLI tools and are intentionally kept out of the dependency tree.

Affected scripts: test-run-js:manual, test-run-js, test-run-next:manual, test-run-next, test-run-keys-next, test-run-keys-js, test-run-react, test-run-react:manual.

The fix is to replace pnpm exec with pnpm dlx (and restore the @latest version tags for create-next-app and create-vite):
