post setup-node throws an error - missing pnpm store dir

[dominikg]

Description:
post setup-node throws an error about a missing store directory for pnpm

Action version:
3

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:

node16, pnpm 7.5.1

Repro steps:
workflow:
https://github.com/sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml
run with error:
https://github.com/sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte/runs/7306898304?check_suite_focus=true

Expected behavior:

pnpm store is detected correctly and cached in post-action - no error thrown.
Even if the run completed correctly but for whatever reason the pnpm store could not be cached, post should not throw an error, causing a CI fail.

Actual behavior:

An error is thrown in post setup-node, failing the run

• pnpm store is not found initially (ok i guess, it will be populated later)
• pnpm install fills store
• post action throws an error that store dir does not exist

Hello @dominikg. Thank you for your report. I think it can't save the cache because pnpm store path returns such output:

Using hooks from: /home/runner/work/vite-plugin-svelte/vite-plugin-svelte/.pnpmfile.cjs
readPackage hook is declared. Manifests of dependencies might get overridden
/home/runner/.local/share/pnpm/store/v3

It gets extra logging that is why the action can't get correct path. As temporary solution could you please create .npmrc file with such content:

loglevel=warn # or error

[dominikg]

hmm, that's very unfortunate and could break a lot of CIs, In fact i wonder why it hasn't caused more trouble until now.

Can confirm that the additional logging appears when updating from pnpm 7.5.0 to 7.5.1

cc @zkochan

the impact is limited by the fact that not everyone uses .pnpmfile.cjs

Have a similar issue and can confirm above too.

Post job cleanup.

Hello @RIP21. Could you please as temporary solution add .npmrc file with loglevel=warn ?

[dominikg]

can confirm that loglevel=warn in .npmrc avoids the problem

pnpm store path should only print the path to the store, so it is a bug.

Hello everyone. I've merged fix in the main branch. Could you please confirm that it works as expected for actions/setup-node@main ?
