Research direction

Start by reproducing pnpm install and project startup with Node.js 22.13.1 and pnpm 10.4.1 on macOS or Ubuntu, then inspect pulsar-client/src/pulsar-binding.js and the missing lib/binding/pulsar.node path. Done means the native binding is available and the client starts without MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

Description

I tried to migrate an old project from NPM to PNPM, but after running pnpm install, when I try to start the project, I encounter a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error. How can I fix this issue?
