5 months ago Hey @Nazeofel 👋 ! Thanks for reaching out!
So the thing is that you should see webcontainer.spawn() the same way as Node.js child_process.spawn(). Running cd folder doesn't do anything for the next spawned process as it will just start fresh with the current working directory.
The problem here was that you couldn't specify the working directory of the child process, which is what I now added (because of this issue). You can read more about this property on the API reference on webcontainers.io.
For this to work, you will need to use @webcontainer/api@1.2.0 though. You can then change the ls -a spawned process to
const ls = await webContainer.spawn('ls', ['-a'], {
cwd: 'myproject'
});And the one you use to run the dev server
await webContainer.spawn('npm', ['run', 'dev'], {
cwd: 'myproject'
});I forked your project and made some small changes https://stackblitz.com/~/edit/vitejs-vite-ypethu?file=src/hooks/useContainer.ts. It's complaining about an API key that is missing though, so that's why it's not starting up.
error - DISCORD_TOKEN or DISCORD_CLIENT_ID not found in environment variables
Hope this helps 🙏 .
