Action failing with setup that has previously been working about action-setup

[fvictorio]

Upgrading the action to v4 seems to fix this:

        uses: pnpm/action-setup@v4

Appreciate that upgrading to v4.0.0 may solve the problem, but addressing this in dozens of GitHub workflows on a US Holiday is a nightmare. To say nothing of dozens of broken builds that cannot be reinitiated after the workflow change. What caused this to break? Can it be restored?

[shreyas-iyer]

Seeing this as well with version: 8.11.0. Was totally fine a couple hours ago.

It seems that this issue may be related to the fetch API. Currently, pnpm/action-setup@v2 is using Node.js@v16, which has reached its EOL. It is also possible that GitHub Actions have abandoned the use of this version and fallback to a higher version. The above is just speculation.

Fixed in 2.4.1 https://github.com/pnpm/action-setup/releases/tag/v2.4.1

I change my pnpm/action-setup@v4，but still error.
Error: Multiple versions of pnpm specified:

Here is a possible issue where the pnpm version specified in the package.json does not match the version specified in the GitHub Action configuration.
I encountered the same issue, but I was able to resolve it by aligning the pnpm version specified in the package.json with the version specified in the GitHub Actions configuration.

Upgrading the action to v4 seems to fix this:

        uses: pnpm/action-setup@v4

Upgrading to v4 works for us, thanks @fvictorio !

only the modern javascript ecosystem can have software be broken absolutely out of nowhere

[craftyc0der]

upgrading to v4 fixes this for me

[cactusanil]

This fix worked when jumping from pnpm/action-setup@v2 . Thanks @fvictorio !

Adding to this, GitHub deprecated Node.js v16 (EOL) last year and there should've been warnings since 23 Oct 2023. https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/

To stop this from happening again, setup Dependabot/Renovate to update your GitHub Actions.

Failed with pnpm version:9 as well for us.

Upgrading action to 4 worked!!!

[haq204]

can confirm seeing the issue as on 8.11.0

[chris24sahadeo]

Also got this error on v2. v4 fixes it

[nhuray]

We also upgrade to v4 and it resolves the issue !

[jieey1140]

        uses: pnpm/[email protected]

This was also resolved on Ubuntu 22.04 + k8s self-host-runner by upgrading the pnpm-action version to 4.0.0 !

Thank you! @fvictorio

Unfortunately it's not a fix, its a work around that only affects new workflow runs. In our case, we have dozens of GitHub workflows in a stuck state because of whatever deprecated the ability to use v2 version did so without warning. Upgrading to v4 action does not solve the problem because there is no way to affect the stuck GitHub workflow instances.

According to the latest related GitHub Actions Blog mentioned:

On June 30th 2024, we will change the default from Node16 to Node20.
To opt out of this and continue using Node16 while it is still available in the runner, you can choose to set ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true

But the statement here is still ambiguous, without clarifying whether if using: node16 is set but ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true is not set, will this Actions runner fallback to node20 or use node16.

[pierre-charles]

To add to this, this was suggested several pipelines, I noticed it yesterday and left it my todo list only to then realise it had to be done very soon

Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: pnpm/action-setup@v2

[zkochan]

It must be an issue with a newer Node.js version. I remember fixing the same error in pnpm. But I am afraid to touch the v2 version of this action. Better to upgrade it in your action (or downgrade Node.js).

[zkochan]

I can upgrade the pnpm bundled with the v2 of action to v7 but in that case it will stop working with node.js v12: #138

[CollinHerber]

Are we getting a fix for this in the v4 and v3 versions of the action? I am seeing this with 9.4.0 of pnpm and v4 of the action.

[zkochan]

This issue was reproducible only in v2 of the action as far as I can tell. As you can see, everyone is upgrading to v4 to fix the issue.

[CollinHerber]

I've triple checked that I'm using v4 . I'm even using the direct commit hash instead of just v4 and still seeing this.

[zkochan]

@CollinHerber do you have a link to the action? If no, you can just use corepack instead to install pnpm. Like here:
