pnpm doesn't install all project dependencies

[miguelisidoro]

pnpm version: 7.17.1

Code to reproduce the issue:

Expected behavior:

Running pnpm install and have all project dependencies installed in the node_modules folder.

Actual behavior:

I run pnpm install to install all my project dependencies but not all dependencies are installed in node_modules folder.~
I get build errors saying some modules are not installed.

When taking a look at node_modules folder is much smaller than the one generated by npm install.

Additional information:

• node -v prints: node version 14.20.1
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: Windows

Thanks

Suddenly experiencing this here too, with both 7.14.2 and 7.17.1 (on Node v16.17.1)

Strangely, when I filter for a specific project that didn't have its dependencies installed, the dependencies do get installed correctly. Eg. if project2 didn't get a node_modules folder from pnpm install, pnpm install --filter project2 creates the node_modules folder correctly.

I got this error on a monorepo, to solve temporarily i had to add all packages to root package.json as dev dependency.

I looked into this further and found that deleting your local virtual store (.pnpm) fixes it.

If you don't have a custom virtual-store-dir configured for your project, just run rm -rf **/node_modules from the root of your repo followed by pnpm install.

I believe this is happening due to some mutation of a dependency in the virtual store that causes pnpm install to fail partway through while still reporting no errors. In my case, pnpm store status always returned esbuild as modified, even after a store removal and reinstall.

Hi,

I was able to build sucessfully a small project, didn't test my big project.
However, I detected that in the local virtual store pnpm downloads several versions of the same dependency.

My dependencies:

My .pnpm folder:

How can I guarantee that pnpm only downloads the node_modules for the versions I have in package.json?

Thanks

Thanks,
