engines.node in package.json is not working as expected

[hronro]

pnpm version: 6.13.0

Code to reproduce the issue:

My Node.js version: v16.6.2
My pnpm version: 6.13.0

What's in my package.json:

{
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=16"
  }
}

Expected behavior:

When I run pnpm start, there shouldn't be any errors or warnings.

Actual behavior:

When I run pnpm start, I got this warning:

 WARN  Unsupported engine: wanted: {"node":">=16"} (current: {"node":"v14.17.0","pnpm":"6.13.0"})

I guess it's probably because when I run npm scripts, it uses the node executable bundled in the pnpm, instead of the node executable I installed in the OS?

I can reproduce this with my machine

Arch Linux x86_64 5.10.75-1-lts
nvm 0.39.0
npm 8.1.0
node v16.13.0
pnpm 6.19.1

Using pnpm env use --global 16 doesn't help 🙁

This keeps me from using corepack 🙁

I know about this issue. I filed #3785 to fix it

[gunta]

Still reproduces with latest version

[WillsterJohnson]

needs to be reopened, the PR unfortunately did not fix this, or subsequent changes caused the issue to return.

[zkochan]

This is probably fixed by #4780

🚢 7.1.5 and 6.32.17
