Summary
Adds the
RUSH_PNPM_VIRTUAL_STORE_PATH
environment variable override to allow moving the PNPM virtual store directory. Fixes #4974.Details
After speaking with the creator of the bug, #4974 really was about removing the large number of dependency-related files from the RUSH_TEMP_FOLDER directory. Since we currently don't allow moving the RUSH_TEMP_FOLDER directory when using workspaces, this change continues with that approach and allows for moving the PNPM virtual store directory instead.
While it may be hypothetically possible to move the RUSH_TEMP_FOLDER directory, this is a more targeted change that accomplishes what the developer in the original issue was looking for.
How it was tested
[x] Added unit tests
[ ] Tested locally
Impacted documentation
Adds a new environment variable that likely will need to be documented on the Rushstack website.
