Plan: Automated pnpm Lock File Conflict Resolution

  • Create .gitattributes file with custom merge driver for pnpm-lock.yaml
  • Create a merge driver script to automatically resolve pnpm lock conflicts
  • Add setup instructions in documentation
  • Add pnpm version enforcement in package.json engines field
  • Test the solution with a simulated merge conflict
  • Run code review

Summary

Successfully implemented an automated solution for pnpm-lock.yaml merge conflicts using:

  1. Union merge strategy (.gitattributes) - Automatically combines both versions during merges
  2. Post-merge hook (setup-merge-driver.sh) - Auto-runs pnpm install after merges to regenerate valid lockfile
  3. Version enforcement (package.json) - Ensures consistent pnpm version (>=10.0.0) across all developers
  4. Comprehensive documentation - Setup guide, troubleshooting, and best practices in docs/pnpm-lock-conflict-resolution.md
  5. Test documentation - Detailed test results in docs/pnpm-lock-test-results.md

How It Works

When developers merge branches with conflicting pnpm-lock.yaml changes:

  1. Git automatically combines both versions using the union strategy (no manual conflict resolution needed)
  2. The merge completes successfully
  3. A post-merge hook automatically runs pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile
  4. pnpm regenerates a correct lockfile with dependencies from both branches
  5. Developer reviews and commits the updated lockfile if needed

Testing

✅ All tests passed - Verified with comprehensive test that simulates realistic merge conflict scenario:

  • Created two branches modifying different packages
  • Both modified pnpm-lock.yaml creating a conflict
  • Merge completed successfully without manual intervention
  • Post-merge hook ran automatically
  • Final lockfile was valid and consistent

The solution eliminates the need for manual pnpm-lock.yaml conflict resolution while ensuring lockfile integrity.

Original prompt

我在合并分支的时候总是会遇到 pnpm lock 文件的冲突,有有没有好的办法自动解决?
