I’m volunteering with an open source project and they want to use redwoodjs. I’m trying to go through the tutorial but I’m having issues with the first step. I’m running on a M1 MBP with yarn version 4.02 and Node v20.9.0. Simply running the first steps of the tutorial:

yarn create redwood-app --ts ./redwoodblog
yarn install #this isn’t actually listed in tutorial but is in next steps from previous command
yarn redwood dev

$ yarn explain peer-requirements

Hey @ed-snodgrass, cool to hear about the project, sorry you’ve hit an early bump. I can’t quite reproduce yet. Here’s what I tried:

yarn create redwood-app --ts ./redwoodblog
cd redwoodblog
yarn install
yarn rw dev

You’re right about the tutorial missing the yarn install step. Just double checking because you didn’t list it in the three steps you took, you cded into the redwoodblog directory before running yarn install right?

The yarn version in your project (4.0.2?) seems odd—the project should’ve shipped with a yarn binary. In my project I have:

redwoodblog % yarn --version
3.7.0

(Globally I have yarn 4.0.2 (I did corepack enable then corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate), but the global version shouldn’t matter.)

Re the peer dependencies, a lot of horror there for sure, but if you can suspend judgement it’s nothing to worry about.

The output from yarn rw dev seems like you didn’t run yarn install. Does running yarn install in the redwoodblog directory fix it? Between the yarn version and that error, it feels like you may have just forgotten to cd? Let me know thanks!

Thank you @dom for the reply.

I definitely ran yarn install. This could be a yarn bug. I have an older MBP that still had yarn 1.x on it so I tried the install there and it worked fine.

Switching back to my newer MBP, I uninstalled yarn globally. And tried to install specifying the version v1.22.19 based on the “stable” version on the yarn installation page (although they’re trying to get folks to move beyond v1). At any rate, even specifying the version npm i -g yarn@1.22.19 I still got v4.0.2. . After more googling I removed the yarnPath line from the ~/.yarnrc.yml file and finally 1.22.19 was installed and the steps outlined in the tutorial worked.

I’m excited to move on from this step and dig into all things redwoodjs.

@ed-snodgrass Great to hear that you got it working :tada:

But just to confirm, when you were still on yarn v4, did you do

yarn create redwood-app --ts ./redwoodblog
yarn install
cd redwoodblog
yarn redwood dev

or did you do

yarn create redwood-app --ts ./redwoodblog
cd redwoodblog
yarn install
yarn redwood dev

Basically, did you cd before or after yarn install?

@Tobbe ,

I was in the redwoodblog directory when I ran the yarn install command. I tried it a number of times. Did you happen to try this with yarn v4?

Interesting. I could actually reproduce this error.

@ed-snodgrass I submitted an issue over at GitHub: [Bug]: `yarn rw dev` fails on yarn 4 node 20 · Issue #9578 · redwoodjs/redwood · GitHub

Let’s continue there.
