action-setup V2 issue: ERR_PNPM_META_FETCH_FAIL

[ImPrankster]

Recently when running pnpm/action-setup@v2 in GitHub CI I got this error:

GET https://registry.npmjs.org/pnpm: Value of "this" must be of type URLSearchParams

Using node-version 20
It happens during self-install, seems to be a connection problem
It started about one day ago

I have also faced the same issue.

Can confirm this started some time between now and 17:00 UTC yesterday, when it was working fine. I suspect NPM have put out an update which broke it, perhaps relating to the deprecation warning for registry.npmjs.org:

» curl -I https://registry.npmjs.org     
HTTP/2 200

npm-notice: This endpoint is deprecated. Use https://replicate.npmjs.com instead.

Edit: I didn't realise we were using v2 rather than v4, which seems to work, so the fix genuinely is "upgrade to v4" :)

updated pnpm/action-setup@v2 => pnpm/action-setup@v4 fix the issue

Duplicate of #135.

The proposed "fix" is a work around and method of going forward provided GitHub workflows can be readily updated and approved. But it does not resolve stuck / failing workflow runs, many of which cannot be triggered again without additional code updates via merge or rebase of each one to pull in the use of the updated workflow action version.

Fixed in 2.4.1 https://github.com/pnpm/action-setup/releases/tag/v2.4.1
