Vercel@41.4.0 throw error "ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH"

Feedback

Summary: When deploying with vercel cli version 41.4.0, ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH error occurs when pnpm install --frozen-lockfile command is executed.

  • No changes were made to the pnpm-lockfile file.
  • When I printed out the pnpmfileChecksum in the vercel build environment, it matched the pnpmfileChecksum in pnpm-lock.yaml in the github repository.
  • pnpm version: 9.15.9, vercel version: 41.4.0

For internal project reasons, we are deploying with vercel cli in github action workflow

I modified the code so that I don’t get the ‘ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH’ error when triggered automatically to vercel, but when deploying with vercel cli, I get the error.

I was installing vercel cli with the command npm i -g vercel, and since version 41.4.0 was recently released, I deployed to the version below it, 41.3.2, and it worked fine.

This can happen if your local PNPM version is different than what Vercel uses by default. You should be able to solve it by configuring a specific version. You can learn more about that here: Configuring a Build

Thank you for your response! :slight_smile:

I guess I wasn’t very clear in my explanation.
The package.json already had the packageManager set to “pnpm@9.10.0”.

But when I printed pnpm --version in vercel build environment, it came out as 9.15.9. So I changed pnpm to 9.15.9 locally and tried to install pnpm, and it installed normally without ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH error.
