Bug description

After upgrading from prisma 3.14.0 to 3.15.2 with pnpm, I’m unable to install new packages. When trying to install a new package, I get the error : ERR_PNPM_BAD_PACKAGE_JSON /myproject/node_modules/@prisma/client/package.json: Invalid name: ".prisma/client"

Taking a look at node_modules/@prisma/client/package.json it shows the following: version 3.14.0:

How to reproduce

Install prisma 3.15.2 with pnpm $ pnpm add @prisma/client @3.15.2

Expected behavior

After upgrading prisma, I should be able to install new packages.

The same issue here with pnpm v7.5

My config for prisma
generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client-js"
  binaryTargets   = ["native", "debian-openssl-1.1.x"]
  output          = "../node_modules/@prisma/client"
  previewFeatures = ["fullTextIndex", "fullTextSearch", "interactiveTransactions"]
}
What I got when run pnpm install
 ERR_PNPM_BAD_PACKAGE_JSON  /root/ritchie/services/node_modules/@prisma/client/package.json: Invalid name: ".prisma/client"
Workaround

Open the package.json, replace .prisma/client with @prisma/client, solved, but when I add new new deps, I should edit this file again, I am waiting for an official solution here too.
vim /root/ritchie/services/node_modules/@prisma/client/package.json

{
  "name": ".prisma/client",  # change this to "@prisma/client"
  "main": "index.js",
  "types": "index.d.ts",
  "browser": "index-browser.js"
}

I’m solved by output = "../node_modules/.prisma/client

HI @aqrln I am using turborepo with pnpm in my several monorepo projects, every project have the problem with lastest prisma client. I have not figured out what’s the problem is, but if I add output field in prisma.schema, the problem will be solved. I think this a bug import from recent release, because months ago there’s no this problem.
