npm create cloudflare: "no such file or directory lstat"

When attempting to create a new project using npm create cloudflare@latest, I get the following error after choosing the options I wanted:

PS E:\cf-projects> npm create cloudflare@latest

Not quite sure what to do from here... I recall being able to create a cloudflare project with react, like, last week, but now this is broken.

note: creating that folder (C:\Users\eslac\AppData\Roaming\) does work... but... why does it need to exist? it shouldn't be necessary. It ended up creating the project but finished with this

I dunno how to proceed here and I'm tired and annoyed, and this isn't a solid-start project like I wanted, so I'm going to let this go until tomorrow.

@Dario is james in discord? if not, can you ping him internally

Dario•6mo ago

@jculveyhouse 🙂 👆 surprisingly I just run npm create cloudflare@latest and created a solidStart project without encountering either of the above issues 😕

<Alterion.Dev>OP•6mo ago

<Alterion.Dev>OP•6mo ago

I'll also point out that this exact error/warning on two different machines - my home machine on Windows 10 + Node 20, and also my work machine which is Windows 11, but defaults to node 18.16.1

<Alterion.Dev>OP•6mo ago

Ahhhhhhhh. This might explain it. Left is through npm create cloudflare , right is through npm create solid . The difference is key. Fixing the missing unocss plugin makes it work.

<Alterion.Dev>OP•6mo ago

So, we had that one npm folder that doesn't exist in windows 10 (the first error didn't appear in windows 11), and we had that the missing vite plugin config. I got all the way to deploying, https://alterion-dev.pages.dev/ , works A-OK :AUthumbsup:

Dario•6mo ago

Awesome! 😄 💪 what template are you using by the way? I guess the unoCSS issue should be fixed there? (the template I tried was the basic one and that doesn't seem to have this issue (since it does work on my machine! 😜))

<Alterion.Dev>OP•6mo ago

Yep, unocss was the template used. Sorry I thought it was actually showing in the log but I guess it didn't because that's the create-solid part not the cloudflare part?

Dario•6mo ago

yeah it probably didn't show up there because the one you shared it the build output which happens after create-(cloudflare/solid) did their job 🙂

<Alterion.Dev>OP•6mo ago

yeah my bad on that one 😄

Dario•6mo ago

by the way I think I know what's going wrong there...

Dario•6mo ago

this is the generated config

Dario•6mo ago

I suspect that the unoCSS template contains the file in the correct way, then we update the config to include the cloudflare-pages preset and the rollup config (sorry I really can't remember if that's done by C3 or Solid itself... it's likely C3...), I bet that the problem is that the pre-existing config object is not merged with the new one, so we kind of drop the UnoCSS plugin setting in the process...

Dario•6mo ago

ok, C3 is the one doing the transformation: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/blob/9a804b9061006f2c2d508151d86246400055e4fd/packages/create-cloudflare/templates/solid/c3.ts#L35-L56

as you can see we replace the defineConfig arguments instead of merging them.... sorry it's our bad then 😅👍

Dario•6mo ago

if you want please open an issue in workers-sdk (https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug&projects=&template=bug-template.yaml&title=%F0%9F%90%9B+BUG%3A) and I'll look into it when I can 🙂 (or if you prefer I can open the issue)
