ERROR: npm failed to install dependencies

I'm experimenting with adding a nix package to nexus mods' Vortex repo: https://github.com/MattSturgeon/Vortex/tree/nix-package

It uses pnpm, but my current package is failing with:

Executing pnpmConfigHook
~ /build/source
/build/source
Found 'pnpm' with version '11.1.2'
Using fetcherVersion: 3
Configuring pnpm store
Installing dependencies
[ERROR] Unknown option: 'frozen-lockfile'
Did you mean 'lockfile'? Use "--config.unknown=value" to force an unknown option.
For help, run: pnpm help add

ERROR: pnpm failed to install dependencies

which almost seems like --frozen-lockfile (a valid pnpm flag) is being passed to some other command?

An ugly way to find out what that flag is being passed to is to add

  preConfigure = ''
    set -x
  '';

This is what I got

pnpm install --offline --ignore-scripts '' --frozen-lockfile

I assume the random empty string is the culprit

    # NOTE: this hash changes whenever pnpm lock changes
    # TODO: update this automatically in CI and/or pre-commit

Another opportunity for me to mention my importPnpmLock.nix library (GitHub mirror)

It's similar to importCargoLock, importNpmLock and others from Nixpkgs, though this one sadly only works using IFD, as your pnpm-lock.yaml has to be converted to json first.

I have been using it at my workplace to build and package our Node apps using Nix. Without it, I wouldn't really be able to use Renovate bot very comfortably
