10:48:20.735 Error: Command "pnpm install" exited with 1

Changed from pnpm to yarn to install the packages locally since pnpm was also failing on my end.

no corepack enabled by myself, unless NextJS does this. And this is happening now,

NextJS v16.0.10
NodeJS v22

followed this topic and tested using the ` “packageManager”: “pnpm@10.7.0” ` and still same result, fail on build

Edit 1

added

  "engines": {
    "node": "22.x"
  },
  "packageManager": "pnpm@10.26.0"

to `package.json` and ` “installCommand”: “pnpm install”, ` to `vercel.json` and still, same error

Edit 2

the solution from this topic also not applies since this key is not present in the envs

Edit 3

No `vulnerable dependencies` in the project too

for anyone having this same issue, I solved it adding this key ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_COREPACK to all environment variables and set it’s value to 1 and deploy it right after adding the key.

Not sure if this will ever solve your problem but since all other steps have failed to me and only this one worked, it might worth the shot!

Good luck =)
