Unexpected error upon creating a new Project #4321

ghost · 2018-04-17T19:09:43Z

Is this a bug report?

Yes

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

No, everything is up-to-date, and it is a NEW project.

Which terms did you search for in User Guide?

None, since it is a "start" of a project.

Environment

node -v: v8.9.4
npm -v: 5.6.0
yarn --version (if you use Yarn): 1.6.0
npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected): `-- (empty)

Then, specify:

Operating system: Windows 10
Browser and version (if relevant): N/R

Steps to Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

Install Node/NPM
Install create-react-app (npm install -g create-react-app)
Create a new Project (create-react-app dashboard)

Expected Behavior

Create a new Folder with the project inside.

Actual Behavior

source $ create-react-app dashboard

Creating a new React app in ~\Projects\test\source\dashboard.

Reproducible Demo

Since there is no way to create the Project, it is not possible to build a "demo".

Thanks in advance, and keep up the amazing work!

Are you using the standard npm registry?

ghost · 2018-04-17T22:36:01Z

@Timer yes, it just "started" happening today, as I upgraded to the latest version of CRA.

source $ create-react-app --version
1.5.2

Thanks.

Timer · 2018-04-17T23:27:02Z

Odd, can you try using npx instead like in our README?

gaearon · 2018-04-18T00:55:08Z

I wonder if any transitive updates released new versions recently. Maybe something upstream related to waiting for a process to finish broke.

Using npx produced the same result:

@gaearon
Anything I could do to help on this thought?

gaearon · 2018-04-18T16:45:56Z

Can't reproduce on macOS on these versions.

Is there anything special about your Windows environment? Why do paths start with ~?

ghost · 2018-04-18T17:17:51Z

@gaearon
Nothing special, the only thing "different" is that everything is installed with Scoop.
The "~" were to just omit the home folder. and it is "C:\Users\julio".

About 2 days ago, with this very same environment, I created a Project, with no errors.

gaearon · 2018-04-18T17:20:38Z

I see. Maybe worth trying to test with Scoop specifically.
I can give it a try to reproduce some time later this or next week.

If you run with --use-npm, does the problem persist?

ghost · 2018-04-18T17:32:08Z

@gaearon
Running with --use-npm succeeded.

Maybe it is an issue with yarn (installed with Scoop).
I'll try and install it from npm, and get back to you ASAP.

  npm run build

  npm test

  npm run eject
    Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files
    and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!

We suggest that you begin by typing:

  cd dashboard

Happy hacking!

Returning to yarn from Scoop, brought the error back.
I believe there's a difference in the "official" yarn distribution regarding the npm one.

Since I am not an expert, I cannot tell exactly what it is. But I am available to help with anything.

[Edit]
Browsing from Google, I stumbled int this old issue (#2751).

[Edit2]
Just posted a comment on the Yarn issue tracker, so I think this one could be closed, since it appears NOT to be an issue with react-scripts per se, or even with npm.

pushred · 2018-05-12T20:00:24Z

I'm running into this error trying out the monorepo support in 2.0 using either npx or yarn create, react-scripts@next or 1.1.4, I consistently encounter this error when trying to create a new app from the root of my workspaces-enabled repo.

If I go to a fresh dir that does not have a package.json with the workspaces property I'm able to run the create script without issue with npx (or yarn create, if not using next). The issue returns if I add that property.
