This error occured when i try to pnpm install on a fresh Next.js install. Not sure what causes it or if its just my pnpm setup. The workaround is to rename pnpm-workspace.yaml into something else.

looks to be a bug of the cli though if it’s not including packages

we had same issue then

packages isn’t optional for some reason
it should be

i found out that packages prop no longer needed after 10.5 and the CNA omit the package props after major 10 (as seen in the code)
this might be might chance to contribute but im mentally prepared for them to close this issue instantly and get told "dev just need to update pnpm, closing it thx bye" :Sad_Kermit:
that we did
yeah they need to do a couple more checks
Her Knight ❤️
no problem
