prepublish behavior not triggered anymore?

[robertherber]

I've used pkg.pr.new a while and recently the prepublishOnly script doesn't seem to be triggered anymore, which means the build folder is not generated in our PR previews.

We've now included it in the Github Workflow manually - but I think it makes sense that the behavior replicates npm publish as close as possible, right?

under the hood we use npm pack / pnpm pack, so i think those two scripts should run the prepublish script, right?

I agree with @robertherber. I'd expect npm publish and pkg-pr-new publish to be interchangeable. npm pack however doesn't call prepublishOnly. Built files won't be included in that case. Afaict you need to run npm publish --dry-run and npm pack --json --dry-run to get the same behavior.
