What happened?

I clicked on "gitpod" in the README. Gitpod starts, but on startup an error is shown, and f.e. npm/pnpm install also doesn't work. Is there some special setup necessary?

What is your expected behavior?

I start gitpod. All the packages are installed and no error is shown.

How to reproduce the bug.

Start gitpod from the README. Select one of the available pod sizes. I tried small and large. I also tried github codespaces, but there it said the free ones are too small? Also kind of suprising.

Relevant log output

gitpod /workspace/webdriverio (main) $  HISTFILE=/workspace/.gitpod/cmd-3 history -r; {
> gp sync-await installation
> } && {
> node .gitpod/welcome.mjs
> }
installation done
node:internal/errors:490
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    ^

}

Additionally, the pnpm version seems to be too old and I couldn't update it yet:

gitpod /workspace/webdriverio/packages/wdio-utils/src/node (main) $ pnpm i pnpm
 ERR_PNPM_UNSUPPORTED_ENGINE  Unsupported environment (bad pnpm and/or Node.js version)

Your pnpm version is incompatible with "/workspace/webdriverio".

Expected version: >=8.15.3
Got: 8.6.7

This is happening because the package's manifest has an engines.pnpm field specified.
To fix this issue, install the required pnpm version globally.

To install the latest version of pnpm, run "pnpm i -g pnpm".
To check your pnpm version, run "pnpm -v".

Yeah, I haven't tested Gitpod in a while and we migrated from NPM to pnpm which might have caused this. I think it is worth fixing the gitpod.yml and update it to the current local setup.
