Error when building new app

[LukeP1]

I am getting this error when trying to create a new nuxt app

node -v v12.13.1

` npx create-nuxt-app ui-dev2 internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:800 throw err; ^

Same error:

// in docker container running node:latest
root@6d8e7e7ba219:/home/node/app# node -v && npm -v
v13.5.0
6.13.4

// in host shell
C:\Users\maxir>docker -v
Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea

Edit Running npm i -g create-nuxt-app solved it for me. I have been able to run npm init nuxt-app . flawlessly.

[cmaneu]

Same issue here:

• Using from a docker container (VS Code Remote Extensions)
• running npm i -g create-nuxt-app solved it.

I created a website on nuxt and have a infinite loader on the feed on the landing. Gives me great performance using vue and server render. Any thoughts?

FYI you have to login to enjoy the feed :-p

Fixed it with @cmaneu answer npm i -g create-nuxt-app and then ran the npx create-nuxt-app command again.

I got the same error. I used Node.js version 14.x, then switched to Node.js version 12.x and the problem was fixed.

[Soviut]

Tried node 14, 14-alpine, 12, 12-alpine and all yielded the same error.

I had to shell into a node container, install globally and then npm init.

MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/usr/src -w /usr/src node:12 sh

$ npm install -g create-nuxt-app
$ npm init nuxt-app .

The MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 is to make sure the pwd maps the volume correctly correctly in git-bash.

@LukeP1 From the log, the error seems from ejs and there is an issue there as well https://github.com/mde/ejs/issues/487 , I think we can open an issue there and figure out a fix.

I got the same error using Node v12.18.0. Then I tried npm i -g create-nuxt-app, leading to the error

i encounter same issue.

It's seem that Docker daemon always runs as the root user, we not allow to use root user to run npx command.

[hibriiiiidge]

I have same problem. I resolved the problem, install ejs@3.0.1 before $ npm init nuxt-app . or $ npx create-nuxt-app

# in Node.js container
$ npm install -g ejs@3.0.1 

versions

# in Node.js container
root@204c32b15683:/app# node -v
v14.3.0
root@204c32b15683:/app# npm -v
6.14.4
root@204c32b15683:/app# nuxt -v
2.0.0
root@204c32b15683:/app# create-nuxt-app -v
create-nuxt-app/2.15.0 linux-x64 node-v14.3.0

[sn8to]

I was encountering the same issue just a little while ago, but I seem to have fixed it by using a different non-root account. I'm not sure why but it worked for me.

[kennyalmendral]

npm i -g create-nuxt-app solved the issue

FYI, I encountered a similar error while installing react-scripts (npm install with a package.json having dependency of react-scripts.) I could reproduce this in a container with /root as home directory. For some reason, when the folder is put under /root (home) this error occurs. However, when I move it to other folder (e.g. /opt) it does not happen.

$ node -v

$ npm -v

@amjltc295 From the error log, it seems missing ejs postinstall file from you node_module, can you double check if /root/frontend/node_modules/ejs/postinstall.js exists and has executable permission ?

[jcredi26]

docker run -v "$PWD":/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app --rm -it node:14-alpine sh -c 'npm i -g create-nuxt-app && npm init nuxt-app frontend'

Download latest nodejs .exe (recommended for most users) from https://nodejs.org/en and install. it will replace your previous version

Check Version:

• node -v

• npm -v

  Nuxt 2 Require:

• Node.js - 16.x or 14.x
• npm v5.2+ or v6.1+

---

Nuxt 3 Require:

• Node.js - v16.10.0 or newer
