Confusing error messages when user doesn't specify version

[kidonng]

It seems this action requires a package.json file to be present:

action-setup/src/install-pnpm/run.ts

Lines 13 to 14 in 6e1964d

	const pkgJson = path.join(dest, 'package.json')
	await ensureFile(pkgJson)

Even if users only use pnpx and do not install packages locally, they have to provide a package.json, which is inconvenient.

Will the action support using it without a package.json?

You misinterpreted the code. Have you tried running this action without package.json?

Yep: https://github.com/kidonng/api/actions/runs/3051844927/jobs/4920548325#step:4:7

Ah, I think I got what's happening. I didn't specify a version, so the action is finding the packageManager field in package.json, but I don't have one.

Sorry, my assumption is wrong 🙈

I think the error messages can be improved.
