[ramykl]

This will make it possible to install a specific version of a package manager through the cypress orb

Could this also support using bun https://bun.sh/?

@jennifer-shehane I think this will also fix the failing pnpm test you mentioned here #485 (comment) but I created a specific PR just for that fix as well #492

Would you like to give some feedback about whether you want to continue with this PR?

It looks like the pnpm process is working now without needing to specify the pnpm version (it's just using the latest version by default).

[MikeMcC399]

Both pnpm and Yarn allow settting the package manager using corepack in current versions, so there seems to be some overlap between selecting the package manager version through the Orb and selecting it through the project configuration.

• https://pnpm.io/installation#using-corepack Also see https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/releases/tag/v10.0.0 where it says

  manage-package-manager-versions: enabled by default. pnpm now manages its own version based on the packageManager field in package.json by default.

  See https://pnpm.io/npmrc#manage-package-manager-versions

• https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install

Edit: Updated for pnpm@10 release

@MikeMcC399 Sorry, will look at fixing this during the week. Have had a busy few weeks.

[ramykl]

@jennifer-shehane any updates on being to get this merged

[MikeMcC399]

@ramykl

Check if https://pnpm.io/npmrc#manage-package-manager-versions meets your needs for pnpm. It is enabled by default.

5 of the 6 failing checks are due to the PR coming from a fork which is not set up to record to Cypress Cloud.

You passed the --record flag but did not provide us your Record Key

The failure in "ci/circleci: Yarn Version Example" is however not due to a problem with recording:

https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/ramykl/circleci-orb/40/workflows/2d986fbc-3f2b-41cc-b76b-8c02b1468fe8/jobs/179

Job "Install Yarn" fails with:

Selected version of Yarn is 1.22.5
Checking if YARN is already installed...
A different version of Yarn is installed (1.22.19); removing it

@ramykl

Are you planning to work on the failure mentioned in #486 (comment) ?
