    version: 6.x

    run_install: true

`

I am getting below error when running this action

Error in CI: ERR_PNPM_FROZEN_LOCKFILE_WITH_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE  Cannot perform a frozen installation because the lockfile needs updates

and when try to fix my lockfile locally with command npm i --fix-lockfile i get following error:

npm i --fix-lockfile

Can you try pnpm i --fix-lockfile?

[pinalbhatt]

@KSXGitHub

pnpm i --fix-lockfile
 ERR_PNPM_SPEC_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_ANY_RESOLVER  next@12.1.5_react-dom@18.1.0+react@18.1.0 isn't supported by any available resolver.

This error happened while installing the dependencies of next-seo@5.4.0

Note that npm i --legacy-peer-deps works fine when using npm.

[pinalbhatt]

For now i have fixed issue by adding following to my .npmrc file

auto-install-peers=true

strict-peer-dependencies=false

and when try to fix my lockfile locally with command npm i --fix-lockfile i get following error:

Why do you run npm i if you use pnpm?

You should run pnpm install and commit the lockfile.

[Innei]

Is you using latest pnpm the version of 7.x?

the same error

➜  toolbox git:(master) pnpm i --fix-lockfile
 ERR_PNPM_SPEC_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_ANY_RESOLVER  react-hook-form@7.35.0_react@18.2.0 isn't supported by any available resolver.

the same error

 ERR_PNPM_SPEC_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_ANY_RESOLVER  react-hook-form@7.35.0_react@18.2.0 isn't supported by any available resolver.

rerun pnpm install and commit the lockfile, its ok

[damiangreen]

the same error with node-fetch

I have this in my resolutions

"node-fetch": "@2.6.7",
 ERR_PNPM_SPEC_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_ANY_RESOLVER  node-fetch@@2.6.7 isn't supported by any available resolver.

This error happened while installing the dependencies of cross-fetch@3.1.5

Same error here.

.../apps/app:
 ERR_PNPM_SPEC_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_ANY_RESOLVER  react-hook-form@7.39.4_react@17.0.2 isn't supported by any available resolver.

This error happened while installing the dependencies of @hookform/resolvers@2.9.10
Progress: resolved 309, reused 309, downloaded 0, added 0

getting this in CI:

Scope: all 10 workspace projects
Lockfile is up to date, resolution step is skipped
 ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE  Cannot install with "frozen-lockfile" because pnpm-lock.yaml is not up to date with apps/app/package.json

Note that in CI environments this setting is true by default. If you still need to run install in such cases, use "pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile"

[PaulRBerg]

Same error! Running pnpm i --fix-lockfile does not change the lockfile, but in CI I keep getting an error.

This is with a project that has a peer dependency listed like this:

"peerDependencies": {
  "@ethersproject/bignumber": "5.x"
},

[ramnes]

You need to update pnpm before running it :)

[PaulRBerg]

Yeah, I was on v7.30.1. After upgrading to v8, I can confirm that running --fix-lockfile fixed the issue.

Thanks for your help, @ramnes.

[jonraem]

Just encountered the same issue in Azure Pipelines. I can also confirm that updating from pnpm 7 to 8 and fixing the lockfile again worked for me.
