I’m trying to use RWJS Forms for the first time and am baffled as to why it’s seems to install but isn’t available…

I do a yarn add @redwoodjs/forms

Results are

success Saved 1 new dependency.
info Direct dependencies
info All dependencies
└─ @redwoodjs/forms@0.31.2

Which surprised me when the import on forms failed…

import {
  Form,
  Label,
  TextField,
  TextAreaField,
  FieldError,
  Submit,
} from '@redwoodjs/forms'

../node_modules/@redwoodjs/forms/dist/index.js
Module build failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, 
open [...]node_modules/@redwoodjs/forms/dist/index.js'

And forms are indeed not installed…

It might be unavailable because you need it in the web workspace.

yarn workspace web add @redwoodjs/forms

Also I think running yarn rw upgrade you might just be able to select the forms package

yarn workspace web add @redwoodjs/forms didn’t do it

yarn rw upgrade said my lockfile was out of date, and to yarn install to update it – that worked

thanks!
