pnpm: Permission denied #37808

Bug Description

Hello everyone,

In version 2.37.9, the pnpm installation of the n8nio/runners Docker image is broken. It is no longer possible to install any packages.

As a workaround, you can set the pnpm.cjs file to be executable.

chmod +x /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pnpm/bin/pnpm.cjs

Best regards,
Felix
