CI/CD runs fail: Type Error: URL.canParse is not a function about corepack

The weird part is, the failure happens after the tasks where corepack is doing its thing.

This is my pipeline script:

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

variables:
  pnpm_config_cache: $(Pipeline.Workspace)/.pnpm-store

steps:
  - task: UseNode@1
    inputs:
      version: "20.x"
    displayName: "Install Node.js"

  - task: Cache@2
    inputs:
      key: 'pnpm | "$(Agent.OS)" | ./src/ui/pnpm-lock.yaml'
      path: $(pnpm_config_cache)
    displayName: Cache pnpm

  - script: |
      corepack enable
      corepack prepare pnpm@latest-8 --activate
    displayName: "Setup pnpm"

  - script: pnpm config set store-dir $(pnpm_config_cache)
    displayName: "Setup pnpm caching"

  - script: |
      cd src/ui
      pnpm install
    displayName: "Install PNPM packages"

  - script: |
      node -v
      pnpm -v
      cd src/ui
      pnpm fastbuild
    displayName: "Build UI"

The "setup pnpm" step runs perfectly. The failure happens during the "build UI" step.

Prior issues with this error (e.g. #394, #450) have been the result of using an older version of Node. However I'm running v20.12.2 and have tried v22 as well - the error happens either way.

I may be wrong about this. As an experiment, I removed Corepack from the equation. After doing that, PNPM started giving me an error that I was only using node v16, despite explicitly installing v20 earlier in the pipeline.

Once I find a solution to that problem I'll update this issue.

Yep, never mind, it was a problem with my own setup using a different node version.
