Browserslist update with rush and pnpm doesn't work

I use rush to manage a big monorepo. It has many subprojects. Rush stores no individual lock file and instead keeps one big lock file in a central location.

While building with rush my subprojects output the following error:

Browserslist: caniuse-lite is outdated. Please run:
npx browserslist@latest --update-db

When I cd into a subproject and run pnpx browserslist@latest --update-db it crashes with the following error: No lockfile found. Run "npm install", "yarn install" or "pnpm install"

I made a script to bump only caniuse-lite (since rush update --full is a rather disruptive operation just for this package to be updated).

Here is a script that I made. Make sure it exists under scripts/ in your monorepo, since I hard-coded paths to navigate to root from there (or you can just alter the code).

You can just write a .pnpmfile.cjs readPackage hook, and run rush update --recheck; As @wbern mentioned，rush update --full is a rather disruptive operation just for this package to be updated

function readPackage(packageJson, context) {

  // // The karma types have a missing dependency on typings from the log4js package.
  // if (packageJson.name === '@types/karma') {
  //  context.log('Fixed up dependencies for @types/karma');
  //  packageJson.dependencies['log4js'] = '0.6.38';
  // }
  if (packageJson.dependencies && packageJson.dependencies['caniuse-lite']) {
    packageJson.dependencies['caniuse-lite'] = '^1.0.30001251';
    context.log(`${packageJson.name} caniuse-lite use ^1.0.30001251`)
  }

  return packageJson;
}
