$ touch pnpm-workspace.yaml # File presence important, see next section below. Also fails with content of `packages: []` or `packages: ['.']`
$ pnpm --filter a add react # 💥 Fails
No projects matched the filters in "/Users/k/p/a"However, without a pnpm-workspace.yaml file, the --filter flag finds the package:
$ mkdir a
$ cd a
$ pnpm init
