Using pnpm as package manager results in wonky import errors. Using yarn works fine.

Decided to give discord.js a try and when installing packages with pnpm I get this error when importing SlashCommandBuilder: Module "discord.js" has no exported member SlashCommandBuilder. When using yarn it works just fine.

Importing like this:

import { SlashCommandBuilder } from 'discord.js';

What could be the issue here?

I've had some related issues when using pnpm to install some @testing-library packages and in the end I just had to add more devDependencies because pnpm wasn't adding some chained deps for some reason, so I'm guessing this would be the case.

More of a curiosity than anything else, I'll keep using yarn for the time being.

This is your end according to the data you provided. If you have had trouble with another library, then install discord.js the same way you installed @testing-library packages.

Considering a lot of us internally use pnpm (and even our monorepo) runs on it, this does sound like it might be on your end 😅

Do you do anything special in your codebase? Like a .npmrc file with certain options?

Seems like pnpm is struggling with dependency resolution, while Yarn handles it better by default. You could try pnpm install --shamefully-hoist or clearing the store with pnpm store prune. I’ve run into similar issues before with certain packages. By the way, if you're into useful resources, you might find this site interesting!
