Trying to add a dependency while in a package's subdirectory of pnpm workspace:

pnpm version:

8.4.0

Code to reproduce the issue:

1. cd to subproject of a pnpm repo
2. pnpm i vite-plugin-static-copy (any package)

Expected behavior:

pnpm should install the package in the current workspace project

Actual behavior:

$ pnpm i vite-plugin-static-copy
 ERROR  Cannot destructure property 'manifest' of 'manifestsByPath[rootDir]' as it is undefined.

pnpm: Cannot destructure property 'manifest' of 'manifestsByPath[rootDir]' as it is undefined.

Additional information:

• node -v prints: v18.12.1
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: Windows, git bash and cmd same result.
• may or may not be related to pnpm i in workspace throws a type error in pnpm.cjs as it can't read property 'manifest' of undefined on windows #4904
• cd to workspace root and using --filter works

@zkochan still not working after 8.5.1 release

[menasheh]

What would I have to do to test/debug this locally?

noticed that 7.33.0 does not have the issue

[kasper573]

Happens to me as well using pnpm 8.7.1

The issue is still present on version 8.14.0.

I managed to identify the issue.

I'll submit a PR soon enough.
