package.json is not generated ?

[chrisnaadhi]

hello, i'm trying to install in new fresh projects and got this instead

the package.json was not created then make the node said "Error: Cannot find module 'esbuild'"

is there any wrong things i've done ?
my environment :

Windows 11
Elixir 1.17.1 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 27)
Phoenix 1.17.14
Node v20.12.2
Npm 10.5.0

[chrisnaadhi]

side-to-side the installation
left was on WSL Ubuntu
right was on Windows directly

the package.json was not generated on Windows

[chrisnaadhi]

solved for now with copying the package.json from WSL manually
then npm install on the directory manually

the unsolved / unknown problem was package.json is still not generated automatically on windows version
and the install command is not executed

Getting the same error on Linux (Debian) following the install instructions from the docs. It's a blocking issue for getting started.

From what I've pieced together it looks like this script is run in the live_svelte.setup command, but fails due to a dependency conflict.

On mac I get the error below, but on Debian it fails silently (hence no package.json is created)

➜  livesvelte_test_app mix live_svelte.setup

My theory is that esbuild is pinned to 0.16 in the setup script to prevent this issue (the watch command is removed in >0.17), but that now conflicts with the esbuild dependency @0.17 in the esbuild-svelte package, so new installs are borked.

@EricAndresen
Thank you, that's correct. I've fixed this just now and released a new version 0.14.1. Let me know if things are working now. Also note, I'm planning on releasing version 0.15.0 pretty soon so keep an eye out for that one.

Wow! That was so fast. I was poking around the setup script and saw it change in realtime. Thanks man! Really excited about the project.
