Module not found: Can't resolve 'request' in '/vercel/path0/node_modules/.pnpm/google-gax@4.2.1_encoding@0.1.13/node_modules/google-gax/build/src

[ollebergkvist]

I'm getting this error during build time using @google-cloud/tasks in a turborepo(monorepo).

It seems to be directly related to pnpm, I'm using @google-cloud/tasks in another Vercel project which uses yarn, and the error is not triggered during build in this case.

Is pnpm supported?

I'm getting the error also after setting node-linker=hoisted in my .npmrc file

[ollebergkvist]

I just tried to use turborepo with yarn with this config:

yarnrc.yml

nodeLinker: node-modules
yarnPath: .yarn/releases/yarn-3.4.1.cjs

Same error.

I hit this today, I'm using pnpm@v8 in a monorepo, running node@v20.11.0, pkg details are

"@google-cloud/recaptcha-enterprise": "5.3.0",
"next": "14.1.0"

stack:

For @google-cloud/tasks it's more complicated, it just continues with more modules missing after installing request
eg: "Error: Cannot find module '/app/node_modules/.pnpm/@Google-Cloud+tasks@5.1.1_encoding@0.1.13/node_modules/@google-cloud/tasks/build/esm/src/v2/cloud_tasks_client_config.json'"

I'm also running into this problem with the google tasks library for node

Error: Cannot find module 'node_modules\@google-cloud\tasks\build\esm\src\v2\cloud_tasks_client_config.json'

I do not get this error if i downgrade to version 5.0.0. but anythging beyond this version triggers the error. I'm using NextJS 14

@sofisl Hi! Hope you're well. Is there an ETA for when we might see a fix here? Many thanks in advance 🙏

[dstroot]

Has anyone tried just installing request? E.g. "pnpm add request"? It worked for me, although request is a long deprecated module.

Yepp, the missing modules stack continues... at least for @google-cloud/tasks but I guess for some of the libs that might be a sufficient fix.

[sofisl]

Sorry for the delay, I will take a look next week.

Ok after looking into this, there are two separate issues happening:

1. The issue with Cloud Tasks and Next.js is a known issue with a workaround, please see here.
2. We don't technically support pnpm because there are some discrepancies in how it installs modules (for example, not implicitly installing the highest version of a dependency with a caret). That being said, we actually use pnpm to install dependencies during tests, so this seemed a little weird to me. Since tests haven't failed, I attempted to reproduce with Node 18 and pnpm 8.6.10 locally, and was able to run our sample test successfully (after fixing some issues with the module resolution as described here). Are any of these issues occuring in just a Nodejs environment (without Vercel or Next.js?)
