Renovate won't update pnpm-lock file

[tal-rofe]

I try to use Renovate together with PNPM package manager.
However, when Renovate tries to update some packages, it fails for me in the CI env.

Pnpm uses the frozen lock file feature, so basically I guess it won't let Renovate update the lock file.
Therefore my github actions fail and Renovate won't merge the changes.

How can I solve it?

I use pnpm workspaces:

packages:
    - 'apps/*'

My Renovate configuration:

{
	"$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
	"extends": ["config:base", ":semanticCommitTypeAll(chore)", ":semanticCommitScopeDisabled"],
	"packageRules": [
		{
			"updateTypes": ["minor", "patch"],
			"automerge": true
		}
	],
	"ignoreDeps": ["chalk"],
	"commitMessageAction": "🤖 Update"
}

For me it fails with logs:

Run pnpm install
  pnpm install
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    PNPM_HOME: /home/runner/setup-pnpm/node_modules/.bin
Scope: all 3 workspace projects
Lockfile is up-to-date, resolution step is skipped
 ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE  Cannot install with "frozen-lockfile" because pnpm-lock.yaml is not up-to-date with apps/frontend/package.json

Note that in CI environments this setting is true by default. If you still need to run install in such cases, use "pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile"
