pnpm not found

Hi! I'm having trouble building my app, and haven't had success with any of the suggestions with other "pnpm not found" searches. My railway.json:
{
"$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
"build": {
"builder": "NIXPACKS",
"nixpacksPlan": {
"providers": ["python"],
"phases": {
"setup": {
"nixPkgs": ["..."]
}
}
},
"buildCommand": "pnpm i --frozen-lockfile --force && pnpm -F frontend build"
},
"deploy": {
"startCommand": "python manage.py migrate && python manage.py collectstatic --no-input && gunicorn faves_project.wsgi",
"restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
"restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
}
}

}
The build error I'm seeing:

I have a pnpm-lock.yaml in my root directory. My project id: 90e8bbd5-6381-4906-9853-3d5ea1445654
Solution:
try extending your nixPkgs array with nodePackages.pnpm

Hm, not sure what you mean
Brody
Brody15mo ago
take a look at your own railway.json again please do you see your nixPkgs array?
holy shnikes
holy shnikes15mo ago
yes
Brody
Brody15mo ago
append nodePackages.pnpm to that array
holy shnikes
holy shnikes15mo ago
Just "nixPkgs": ["...", nodePackages.pnpm]?
Brody
Brody15mo ago
well it's a string so it needs to be quoted
holy shnikes
holy shnikes15mo ago
Yep, okay, that's why I was asking specifically what you meant by extend

vscode can validate the railway.json for you it can't tell you if it will do what you intend, but it will tell you if it's valid
