pnpm not found

Hi! I'm having trouble building my app, and haven't had success with any of the suggestions with other "pnpm not found" searches. My railway.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
  "build": {
    "builder": "NIXPACKS",
    "nixpacksPlan": {
      "providers": ["python"],
      "phases": {
        "setup": {
          "nixPkgs": ["..."]
        }
      }
    },
    "buildCommand": "pnpm i --frozen-lockfile --force && pnpm -F frontend build"
  },
  "deploy": {
    "startCommand": "python manage.py migrate && python manage.py collectstatic --no-input && gunicorn faves_project.wsgi",
    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
  }
}

{
  "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
  "build": {
    "builder": "NIXPACKS",
    "nixpacksPlan": {
      "providers": ["python"],
      "phases": {
        "setup": {
          "nixPkgs": ["..."]
        }
      }
    },
    "buildCommand": "pnpm i --frozen-lockfile --force && pnpm -F frontend build"
  },
  "deploy": {
    "startCommand": "python manage.py migrate && python manage.py collectstatic --no-input && gunicorn faves_project.wsgi",
    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
  }
}

The build error I'm seeing:

#12 [stage-0 8/10] RUN pnpm i --frozen-lockfile --force && pnpm -F frontend build

I have a pnpm-lock.yaml in my root directory. My project id: 90e8bbd5-6381-4906-9853-3d5ea1445654

Solution:

try extending your nixPkgs array with nodePackages.pnpm

holy shnikesOP•16mo ago

Hm, not sure what you mean

Brody•16mo ago

take a look at your own railway.json again please do you see your nixPkgs array?

holy shnikesOP•16mo ago

yes

Brody•16mo ago

append nodePackages.pnpm to that array

holy shnikesOP•16mo ago

Just "nixPkgs": ["...", nodePackages.pnpm]?

Brody•16mo ago

well it's a string so it needs to be quoted

holy shnikesOP•16mo ago

Yep, okay, that's why I was asking specifically what you meant by extend

Brody•16mo ago

vscode can validate the railway.json for you it can't tell you if it will do what you intend, but it will tell you if it's valid

holy shnikesOP•16mo ago

I was editing directly on a test branch in the github ui anyway, thanks

Brody•16mo ago

ah lol interesting did it work?

holy shnikesOP•16mo ago

yep!

Brody•16mo ago
