I’m using pnpm, thus the workspace: * syntax.
It looks like this line:
Now using node v16.19.0 (npm v8.19.3)
Implies that Netlify is using npm, when it should be using pnpm. According to this page (How to use pnpm with Netlify Build | Netlify Blog) the presence of a pnpm-lock.yaml file is all that’s needed to enable pnpm. Is there something else I should be doing?
My last successful build was commit 869cc4d1403ce363e9fa392a8805dbc6e9a3350b. The following two builds (825100d and ea237d6) were canceled. Commit fe41e7a failed. None of the three canceled or failed commits contain any changes related to the workspace or netlify configuration:
Thanks so much for reaching out and welcome to the Netlify Forums. First, have you looked through this resource 7? It is a compilation of all of our build and deploy resources. This is a good starting point.
If those resources don’t get you on the right track, can you share a bit more information about what you are trying to accomplish?
Lastly, please share these additional details so we can look into your experience further:
your project repo
a full copy of your latest deploy log
what you have already tried
any error messages you have received in your terminal window or in the developer console
If your build works locally, the next debugging step is to ensure the package versions we use to build match the ones you use in your own development environment. You can find the settings for these in our Build Settings doc. That’s the leading cause of build failures.
I’m pretty sure that the package manager is different, as the logs above indicate Netlify is using npm, and it should be using pnpm. I don’t see anything in the linked documentation that discusses pnpm, and I’m not sure where else that workspace:* error in the logs would be coming from.
I’ve read through the rest of the documentation and can’t seem to find anything that matches the error I’m seeing.
I reran the build with debug mode on. Here’s the logs:

The line Error during npm install certainly seems to indicate that npm is being used, despite the presence of a pnpm-lock.yaml file.
Old workarounds are no longer needed
Prior to this change, it was possible to use pnpm with Netlify but it required workarounds. Developers found various methods to make pnpm work, some of which required disabling npm.
As of January 8th my builds stopped working, but reverting to this workaround and manually disabling npm results in a successful build. My netlify.toml now looks like:
[build]
base = "docs/"
command = "pnpm run build"
publish = "build/"
ignore = "git diff --quiet $CACHED_COMMIT_REF $COMMIT_REF ."
Welcome back to the forums, thanks so much for sharing this with the community. This will help others who stumbled upon this post. Glad to hear your build is working as intended.
