Description

Describe the bug

when using pnpm install and netlify deploy viewing site shows error decoding lambda response: error decoding lambda response: unexpected end of JSON input

this works fine though when using npm install or building though CI from a github push

Steps to reproduce
  • create a basic astro site with SSR (output: "server")
  • pnpm install (--shamefully-hoist doesn't work either here)
  • netlify build
  • netlify deploy
Configuration
[build]
  command = "pnpm run build"
  publish = "dist"
Environment
  System:
    OS: Windows 11 10.0.26100
    CPU: (12) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 with an Astro SSR site using pnpm install, netlify build, and netlify deploy, then compare the result with npm install and a GitHub-push build. Start by tracing the CLI's build and deploy handling for pnpm-based projects; done means the deployed SSR site loads without the lambda JSON decoding error.
