[ValeryG]

In monoreposotory getting following error

ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE  Cannot install with "frozen-lockfile" because pnpm-lock.yaml is not up to date with packages/package1/package.json

pnpm version:

Error is not happening with pnpm ver 7 but happens in pnpm ver 8.4 & 8.5 on UBUNTU only (when running in GitHub actions).

The same version on the same repo is working just fine on Mac.

node version: 18.16

Unfortunately repository is private so I cannot provide it for debugging, but would be happy to try any suggestion or provide as much of info I can.

• I did re-build pnpm-lock.yaml and have correct version of it when running pnpm I --forzen-lockfine.
• My .npmrc has strict-peer-dependencies=false

Do you have node-linker set to hoisted?

Do you have node-linker set to hoisted?

I've tried both with and without. same symthoms - works in mac , fails in ubuntu.

[zkochan]

Probably same as #6312

[ValeryG]

with 8.5.1 getting same error in Ubuntu as before, but now it is telling me failure reason:

Scope: all 20 workspace projects
Lockfile is up to date, resolution step is skipped
 ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE  Cannot install with "frozen-lockfile" because pnpm-lock.yaml is not up to date with packages/core/core/package.json

Failure reason:
specifiers in the lockfile ({}) don't match specs in package.json ({"vue":"^3.2.47"})
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Might be the bug fixed in my first commit of #6468?

[zkochan]

I don't know what is happening. It would be great to have a repro repo. Maybe try to create a workspace with only package.json files and remove all private dependencies. It might be enough just to include the packages/core/core/package.json and package.json from the root of the monorepo.

https://github.com/ValeryG/pnpm8-issue - but of course the issue is not reproducible there. CI just works as expected on PR workflow :( https://github.com/ValeryG/pnpm8-issue/actions/runs/4985311560/jobs/8924752920

Error is not happening with pnpm ver 7 but happens in pnpm ver 8.4 & 8.5

maybe related to auto-install-peers, which became true by default in v8.

[ValeryG]

yes, that was it. When I am setting auto-install-peers to false - no error in ubuntu run.

[zkochan]

your error message said

specifiers in the lockfile ({}) don't match specs in package.json ({"vue":"^3.2.47"})

If you look in you lockfile, at importers[packages/core/core].dependencies. Is there no vue?

Closing this as it is a duplicate of #6312
