.pnpm-store/v3/server/socket:/requestPackage error (ECONNREFUSED).

[woss]

out of blue i started having this when I do pnpm install

info on the server

❯ pnpm server status
store: /home/daniel/.pnpm-store/v3
process id: 4268
remote prefix: http://unix:/home/daniel/.pnpm-store/v3/server/socket:

Restarting the WSL didn't help, any ideas?

[woss]

wow, it seems i have a tendency to answer my own questions :)

I never figured out WHY but here is the destructive fix, delete ALL pnpm with store and packages

# removes the pnpm 
which pnpm | xargs rm

# remove the state and the store
rm -r ~/.pnpm-store/  ~/.pnpm-state.json

# install the pnpm again
curl -f https://get.pnpm.io/v6.js | node - add --global pnpm

Then it worked

do you use the pnpm server?

[zkochan]

oh, silly question, the command is pnpm server status.

why do you need pnpm server?

[woss]

i have no idea why :) i was going through the docs, commands and anything that can potentially help me resolve the issue without the destructive action. at the end i never figred it out so the destructive action was the only option, which actually worked
