It seems that pnpm will not create empty directories, will be fix in next release (amdjs module gonna be removed)

[bobzhang]

confirm this is fixed in bs-platform@next

@bobzhang hi! 6.0.0-dev.1 works fine, but postinstall fails with same error (albeit folder is different: bs-platform/lib/es6/js.js) at 6.0.1 and 6.0.2

[bobzhang]

@ln-nl will make a fix and a bug fix release

[bobzhang]

fixed in #3641

Thank you!

It works for "5.1.0-dev.4" but fails for "6.0.3".

Should this be reopened?
