`changeset publish` and `changeset version` do not run package.json `prepublish` or `version` scripts

Thanks for your work on this.

NPM lifecycle scripts do not seem to work. When I run a command like changeset publish on a repo using yarn workspaces, I’m not seeing any prepublish scripts run. When I do yarn workspace <workspace_name> exec npm publish, the prepublish scripts run as usual.

Affected Packages

Problem

Running changeset publish or changeset version does not trigger any npm lifecycle scripts.

Run into the same problem, not sure if we’re in the same context when running the script, but after some digging, I found the problem probably related to run changeset publish in CI system like gitlab CI. So in general, npm will not execute lifecycle hooks when it’s executed in root role. (in early npm versions before npm@7 ?), so maybe that’s why it worked in the local. It’s not a problem for changeset, just post the results here so anybody can reference this in the future.

potential solutions:

• set unsafe-perm to true
• just run yarn build before publish

Hm, I’ve just tested with npm 6 in your repo and I still get the same result.
