Thanks for your contribution 🙌

I think the current behavior is correct as it's matching the pnpm exec one which says:

The exec part is actually optional when the command is not in conflict with a builtin pnpm command […]

Altho, I think we could add a totally new command type, e.g. dlx? What do you think?

I think that makes sense! Since pnpm has

pnpm, pnpm run,
pnpm exec,
pnpm dlx

although just to be clear @HiDeoo, pnpm exec is not the same as npx since it doesn't attempt to install the package.

This is the case altho based on "npx vs npm exec", I've seen people mostly interchanging them but prefering the npx argument parsing logic.

[o-az]

currently with this setup:

<PackageManagers
  pkg="jsr"
  type="exec"
  frame="none"
  args="add @union/client"
  pkgManagers={['pnpm']}
/>

it renders:

pnpm jsr add @union/client

which when ran results in:

 ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_EXEC_FIRST_FAIL  Command "jsr" not found

whereas pnpm dlx jsr add @union/client works as expected.

You suggest I update the pr and add a new command for pnpm dlx?

[HiDeoo]

I think this is what we agreed on and still makes sense. I would be up to the user to use the appropriate syntax that will work based on the situation, we cannot predict what is the desired behavior in this case if I'm not missing something.

Thanks to #15, the version 0.8.0 now includes the dlx command type 🎉
