What's the problem this PR addresses?
The pnpm linker attempts to delete
node_modules
directory all the time, this causes install failure when Yarn has no permissions. This problem happens even whennode-modules
linker is active.Fixes #4172
Fixes #4160
How did you fix it?
Based on the evaluation of pnpm linker finalizeInstall code, seems this behavior - to manipulate node_modules directory- was not intended. I have updated it so that this code was not run.
