Accessing bin script wrappers in Yarn 3 PnP

[wkhughes]

NPM Setup

When I was using npm directly with package ts-proto I was able to access bin scripts as they recommend:

protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-ts_proto=.\node_modules\.bin\protoc-gen-ts_proto.cmd --ts_proto_out=. ./simple.proto

Specifically the ".\node_modules\.bin\protoc-gen-ts_proto.cmd" part is what I need access to.

Attempted Yarn Setup

I'm trying to figure out how to replicate this under Yarn 3 PnP. So far I've tried:

1. Unplugging ts-proto so I have access to it outside of a zip file
2. In a script run yarn bin protoc-gen-ts_proto to get the bin path in the unplugged folder

However, this only gives me access to the file that begins with #!/usr/bin/env node and not the script wrappers that npm provides for every bin script to invoke that file under node (on Windows, these are a .cmd, .ps1 and shell script).

Any ideas on how I could get access to the .cmd script? Thanks!

I found it's possible to use the BERRY_BIN_FOLDER environment variable within a script under yarn run to have access to the temp folder with the bin files and wrapper (.cmd) scripts.

Specifically within a powershell script I do something like this:

$tsProtoPluginPath = Join-Path $Env:BERRY_BIN_FOLDER "protoc-gen-ts_proto.cmd"

Which I then pass to protoc.

Getting the path to the shellscripts isn't a use case we officially support. At the moment those shellscripts are created only for the duration of the yarn run commands, and are getting cleaned up afterwards.
