[Q*A] Moon cannot access the current package "bin" to execute the command

[harrytran998]

Basic Infor

• Moon v 1.29.0
• pnpm workspace: 9.12.3
• MacOS 13.5 Intel

Apps infos

• Use monorepo with pnpm
• Have apps/api folder - contains nodemon devDependencies. Then the API folder had apps/api/node_modules/.bin/nodemon cli. But when I run the command moon api:dev --> Cannot found nodemon module.

But when I run pnpm -C apps/api dev --> Worked.

So, what is the thing or config I need to update here? Thanks

Here is the moon.yml

tasks:
  dev:
    command: "nodemon"

@harrytran998 What is the platform of moon task api:dev? It should be Node.js. If it is not, you can do this:

tasks:
  dev:
    command: "nodemon"
    platform: "node"

If this still doesn't work, then the nodemon may be one of those binaries that just doesn't work without calling it though npm/pnpm/yarn.

Thank u for pointing out to me about this. After looking at this, I upgraded the toolchain configuration to use NodeJs.
Before this, we used the bun toolchain, but we had a problem with the mono repo with bun --> Then we switched to node but forgot to add the node toolchain config.

Here is the config for anyone have the same problem like us: toolchain.yml

node:
  version: "22.11.0"
  packageManager: "pnpm"
  pnpm:
    version: "9.12.3"
  addEnginesConstraint: true
  syncPackageManagerField: true
