I use github action and vercel to deploy my project(vite+react+pnpm) to vercel, action said error: "Error: spawn pnpm ENOENT"

Question

when I push my github project, the github action was executed, but it failed, the error message from the action is below:

Run vercel build --prod --token=***
Vercel CLI 28.10.3
Detected `pnpm-lock.yaml` generated by pnpm 7...
Installing dependencies...
Error: spawn pnpm ENOENT
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

this is my action yml settings:

env:
  VERCEL_ORG_ID: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_ORG_ID }}
  VERCEL_PROJECT_ID: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_PROJECT_ID }}
on:

      - name: Install Vercel CLI
        run: npm install --global vercel@latest

      - name: Build Project Artifacts
        run: vercel build --prod --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
      - name: Deploy Project Artifacts to Vercel
        run: vercel deploy --prebuilt --prod --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}

I got this same error too, but I fixed it by

• install pnpm first
• install the Vercel CLI via pnpm add --global vercel@latest:

jobs:
  deploy-production:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Install Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 18
      - uses: pnpm/action-setup@v2
        name: Install pnpm
        id: pnpm-install
        with:
          version: 7
          run_install: false
      - name: Install Vercel CLI
        run: pnpm add --global vercel@latest
      - name: Pull Vercel Environment Information
        run: vercel pull --yes --environment=production --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
      - name: Build Project Artifacts
        run: vercel build --prod --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
      - name: Deploy Project Artifacts to Vercel
        run: vercel deploy --prebuilt --prod --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
