Incompatability with pnpm when generating a diff?

[Aghassi]

I tried using this with pnpm https://pnpm.js.org/en/ and it worked only on the first try for pnpx patch-package lottie-react-web. Afterward all I got was

$ /Users/david.aghassi/web/node_modules/.bin/patch-package lottie-react-web
patch-package 6.2.2

Is this a known issue? If not, I can try and make a repro repo if necessary

Note: pnpm added a patch command 2 days ago 🎁

See https://pnpm.io/cli/patch https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/releases/tag/v7.4.0

The patch experience in pnpm is currently a pain. I would love to be able to use patch-package together with pnpm, but noticed it's not currently supported. I really hope this can be considered moving forward - since the patch-package experience is so much better 👍
