Question
App platform build with pnpm command. Possible?

Getting cipm can only install packages with an existing package-lock.json error on deploy because there is no package-lock.json (or yarn.lock, for that matter) on my repository. I’m using pnpm.
Tried changing the build command to pnpm build, hoping that pnpm would be installed and used for installation, but got the same error.
No way to use pnpm? Do I need to install my deps using npm and push my lockfile? Because if that’s so, that’s a deal breaker for me.

Hi there,
Quick update here in case that anyone comes across this in the future.
DigitalOcean have updated the NodeJS buildpack for App Platform.
The buildpack now supports the PNPM package manager. For more information and configuration options, see the buildpack’s documentation page.
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
