ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\path\to\project\node_modules\.pnpm\node_modules\acorn-import-assertions

Current Behavior

When I run electron-builder install-app-deps command, I receive the following error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\path\to\project\node_modules\.pnpm\node_modules\acorn-import-assertions.

Expected Behavior

I expect command script to finish its job successfully.

Package Manager Version
pnpm 9.15.4

electron-builder Version
25.1.8

Operating System
Windows

Additional Information

I believe this is happening because nowadays acorn-import-assertions package is deprecated and instead we have acorn-import-attributes package.

Can you do two things? Please retest on 26.0.11 and also post back debug logs with DEBUG=electron-builder env var set if it doesn't resolve your issue?

[imalitavakoli]

I think the issue is only with the pnpm electron-builder package...

I installed the pnpm package locally for my project (by running pnpm add -D electron-builder command) and I was seeing such error. But then, I removed the local dependency and instead installed the npm package globally on my machine (by running npm install -g electron-builder) and everything is solved.

The node hoisting+module collection logic was completely rewritten into JS in v26 in order to support pnpm. v25 support was iffy and required additional env configuration in npmrc
