Facing issue while creating solana-dapp

[ap211unitech]

Description

Hey there! I want to initialize a solana-dapp with Next.js and Anchor but it's throwing me CreateAppError again and again. For now, I simply cloned this repo to begin with, but this issue should be addresed as soon as possible.

This issue is critical, as it's a fundamental step in setting up any Solana dApp.

Thanks for creating the issue, just confirmed that I got the same issue locally:

It does seem to work well when creating a pnpm project.

However, I got the reason why it's throwing this error. Once we install the dependencies, it just works fine.

For e.g. -

1. Once you get CreateAppError, navigate into project with cd <project name>
2. Do pnpm i
3. and error is gone.

@beeman However, as you said, this works with pnpm but ideally it should be fixed for npx as well. Thank you

Yes, that was the first thing I tested. However, that doesn't get you to the desired state. For example, the script doesn't create a git repo in the new project.

It also doesn't explain why it doesn't work during the script but it does work manually.

I fully agree, it should work with all package managers we officially support (currently npm, yarn, and pnpm). Thanks to this issue I found that it also doesn't work well with yarn so I'm going to be fixing both issues.

Thanks 🙂

Should be fixed by solana-developers/template-next-tailwind-counter#2

@ap211unitech if you could verify it that would be great!

Also works with Yarn now!

@beeman It still doesn't working for me for npm but works fine with yarn.

Ok, could you share the os you're on and you node and npm versions, please?

I am using MacBook M1 Pro.
Node - v20.11.1
NPM - v10.2.4

@beeman By the way, it just worked when I upgraded the Node and NPM version to latest which are v22.13.0 & v11.0.0 respectively.

Regardless of - v20.11.1
NPM - v10.2.4， Both v22.13.0 and v11.0.0 still have a CreateAppError, which has not been resolved. Why is it closed

Mainly because I didn't find a way to reproduce the issue and OP confirmed they got it working.

I will take another look though.
