Global CLI not working with pnpm

[taep96]

What is the problem?

I created a new blitz app with blitz new pnpm (blitz installed globally). Vscode jest extension fails to run tests and I am getting errors after running blitz dev using global module, but if I run the app using locally installed module (pnpm dev) it still logs the errors, now in different format, and runs.

with blitz dev

with pnpm dev

I knew that the global cli wasn't working with pnpm, but pnpm dev is working on mac. Looks like that must be broken on windows.

So technically there are two issues here, probably should separate them. (1) global cli doesn't work on any platform with pnpm and (2) pnpm totally broken on windows

[taep96]

Second issue is on pnpm then? Should I edit the title?

@LemonJuicer96 sorry for the delay here. Can you change this issue to only focus on the first problem and open a second one for the other problem?
