Need help with npm

Thanks for reaching out. The error indicates that PNPM Is unable to locate a manifest file(package.JSON , package.yaml, or package.json5) in the directory where the command is being executed. PNPM requires one of these files to understand the project's dependencies and scripts.

Steps to resolve

1.      check for the package.json file

·         Navigate to your project folder and confirm if a package.json file exists.

·         Example:

           Cd  C:\Users\<Username>\Project\SCL2.0.Mepla.Simple\automated-tests dir package.json

·         If not found, navigate to the folder that actually contains your package.json (for example the project root).

2.      Run the command from the correct directory

·         Ensure you are running the command in the same folder that contains your package.json

            Cd  C:\Users\<Username>\Project\SCL2.0.Mepla.Simple pnpm run test

3.      if package.json is missing

·         You can recreate it using:

Pnpm init

·         This will guide you to create a new manifest file for your project.

4.      Check workspace setup(if using monorepo)

·         If your project uses PNPM workspaces ensure that

                                                              i.      you have a pnpm-workspace.yaml at the root.

                                                            ii.      The package filled in it correctly includes your subfolder(e.g., automated-tests)

·         Example:

                Packages:

                    -          ‘automated-tests/*’

5.       Reinstall dependencies

·         After consuming the correct folder and manifest:

               Pnpn install

               Pnpm run test
