"../../../convex/**/*.*s" to find convex modules doesn't work with pnpm

[raythurnvoid]

Hello i followed the steps in the docs to run convex-test with the only difference that i use pnpm.

I found this in the convex-test source

function moduleCache(specifiedModules) {
    const modules = specifiedModules ?? import.meta.glob("../../../convex/**/*.*s");
    const prefix = findModulesRoot(Object.keys(modules), specifiedModules !== undefined);
    const modulesWithoutExtension = Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(modules).map(([path, module]) => [
        path.replace(/\.[^.]+$/, ""),
        module,
    ]));
    return async (path) => {
        const module = modulesWithoutExtension[prefix + path];
        if (module === undefined) {
            throw new Error(`Could not find module for: "${path}"`);
        }
        return await module();
    };
}

Unfortunately pnpm saves the node_modules deep

node_modules\.pnpm\convex-test@0.0.38_convex@1_3a1a6bf1a42607c7ea66e8378e724539\node_modules\convex-test\dist\index.js

Hey, confirming I'm also experiencing this issue!

I set up a Next.js and Convex project and started adding test files per this guide, got the following error.

Error: Could not find the "_generated" directory, make sure to run `npx convex dev` or `npx convex codegen`. If your Convex functions aren't defined in a directory called "convex" sibling to your node_modules, provide the second argument to `convexTest`

findModulesRoot node_modules/.pnpm/convex-test@0.0.38_convex@1.27.1_react@19.1.0_/node_modules/convex-test/dist/index.js:1034

Swapping to npm fixed the error.

I've raised a fix for this here. I'm 99% sure that this is all that's needed. But the method of reaching out from a node_modules to a very specific location feels inherently fragile anyway. I guess that's just kind of part of the current convex folder structure so hopefully this just solves it a bit neater to allow more package managers to benefit!

One way to get around this is to pass the second modules arg: https://docs.convex.dev/testing/convex-test#custom-convex-folder-name-or-location
Does that fix it for you?
