Run pnpm nuxt upgrade in monorepo

[dwightjack]

I have a pnpm monorepo including a Nuxt3 application with the following structure:

packages/
    app/
        package.json <-- nuxt is defined here 
pnpm-lock.yaml

If I run pnpm --filter=app exec nuxt upgrade --dedupe, the Nuxt CLI cannot locate the lock file.

$ pnpm --filter=app exec nuxt upgrade --dedupe
ℹ Package manager: pnpm 9.3.0                                                                                                       
ℹ Current Nuxt version: 3.17.5                                                                                      

 ERROR  Unable to find any lock files in /.../packages/app

My guess is that the command should traverse up to locate the correct lock file. Looking at the source code, I wonder if this might even be an issue with the https://github.com/unjs/nypm package 🤔

Any hint on how to solve the issue?
