When running package-changed run in a CI environment, hash is not created

[TheRealWaldo]

The hash is never created in an environment with the CI env var set to true:

❯ CI=true npx package-changed run 'npm ci --ignore-scripts'

added 910 packages, and audited 1148 packages in 3m

196 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

found 0 vulnerabilities
❯ ls -al .packagehash
ls: cannot access '.packagehash': No such file or directory

This is undesirable as it causes problems installing hooks and fires multiple times when used in npm 'pre' commands .

Is there a way to force it to create the hash?

Package-changed was never meant to run in a CI environment.

See also this from the docs:

Options: --ci Run 'npm ci' instead of 'npm i'. Even when package is not changed. Default when env.CI=true

Can you tell me why you would like to run it as such?

It's useful when some deps are changed and artifacts are generated based on what deps are used.
