[davidesigner]

Hi there,

Since the new release (1.0.14), my team and myself have this error when we run npx update-browserslist-db@latest.

Latest version:     1.0.30001615
Installed version:  1.0.30001615
caniuse-lite is up to date
caniuse-lite has been successfully updated

Error: Cannot find module 'browserslist'

Problem with browser list retrieval.
Target browser changes won’t be shown.

[ai]

1. What package manager do you use?
2. Do you have Browserslists in your lock file?
3. Do you use monorepo?

[davidesigner]

I use npm and I don't have browserlist in my lock file because it was not required by the previous version.

Yes we have a monorepo that contains multiple js projects (yarn & npm).

[ai]

Why do you need caniuse-lite if you don’t have Browserslist?

[ai]

Very strange, we call browserslist in try-catch and ready for error from require().

What is Node.js version?

[davidesigner]

Sorry I have browserlist in my package-lock.json because it's a dependency of autoprefixer.

The package is installed in my node_modules:

Node: v20.12.0

[ai]

Seems like update-browserslist-db doesn’t see browserslist because it was run from temporary dir.

But I have no idea why this code is not working https://github.com/browserslist/update-db/blob/main/index.js#L274-L276

Do you have any way to reproduce the problem and debug it?

[davidesigner]

You can do that: npx create-remix@latest --template remix-run/indie-stack to install a new Remix project that have the problem:

Then, just go to the project repository and run: npx update-browserslist-db@latest.

Environment:

• MacOS ARM
• Node 20.12.0
• npm 10.5.0

[ai]

It was not an error (the exit code was 0), just a warning.

But I improve the text https://github.com/browserslist/update-db/commit/1f3ab06d79cfee9d8944a9379f1d15dad9a83a28
