"Error: Cannot find module 'blitz'" when installing with pnpm

[valerii15298]

What is the problem?

I followed the steps from the documentation "get started" section.

And when I run blitz dev i got the error: Error: Cannot find module '.blitz' Is there a workaround for it?

Paste all your error logs here:

Node.js v17.3.0
PS C:\Users\valer\OneDrive\Desktop\projects\blitz-projects\myAppName1>

What are detailed steps to reproduce this?

yarn global add blitz
blitz new myAppName
cd myAppName
blitz dev

When creating app I chose package manager pnpm, language - typescript, and all others options as recommended.

Run blitz -v and paste the output here:

Hi @valerii15298, sorry for the delay in responding. Unfortunately, it looks like global CLI is not working on Windows with pnpm. Here's a related issue: https://github.com/blitz-js/legacy-framework/issues/18.
