Nuxt.js: ERROR Failed to compile with 1 errors - missing clinet.js

[simonl65]

I'm not sure if this is a better place to raise this (i already contributed to issue #48 in create-nuxt-app, but the issue may well be with nuxt core?

I'm getting the following error no matter whether I use create-nuxt-app, vue init nuxt-community/starter-template or follow the start from scratch instructions:

ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 errors                                                                                                                                                                                              13:00:59

This dependency was not found:

To install it, you can run: npm install --save E:\simonl\Documents\_dev\!learning\nuxt003\.nuxt\client.js

OPEN  http://localhost:3000

I have:

• vue v2.9.3
• node v8.8.1
• npm v5.6.0

My package.json

Try use new version of nuxt. Latest nuxt version is 1.3.0

[simonl65]

@EllenFawkes Thanks for the swift response.

Yup - according to package-lock.json I'm already using 1.3.0:

    "nuxt": {
      "version": "1.3.0",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/nuxt/-/nuxt-1.3.0.tgz",
      "integrity": "sha512-H5FpsZXVu1gfecif5v6q6F04HfoUJcCnMHBJXayAPRYG/RHYwy32Df3vIBJ7U5HbDkyW9UebaLtHAYk17iTA/g==",

Are you tried clean .nuxt folder or remove node_modules and install it again? I tried create new project and it's works. But I am on Linux, not windows.

[simonl65]

I did - I've also tried this on a seperate PC and get same issue. Maybe I'll spin-up a linux VM and see if it works for me there.

[purrplingcat]

Oki. Maybe it's windows problem, but I can verify it, because i don't have PC with windows on that place, where actually I am. :/

[simonl65]

That's OK, I can try it on Linux. Thanks for your help anyway 👍

[simonl65]

Oh no - I've just got it working on a fresh Win10 VM! That must mean it's a conflict with something I have running on the two other machines I tested on :-( Time to go hunting...

Thanks for your help peeps. I'll report back here if/when I find the cause.

[purrplingcat]

Which version of nodejs and npm used on W10 VM?

[simonl65]

node 8.8.1, npm 5.6.0

I've just upgraded to node 8.9.4 (npm stays at 5.6.0) but get same error. I'll keep investigating.

Thank you for looking at it @simonl65

I use Nuxt.js everyday on Mac & Linux and works perfectly, I know Windows can be hard on paths resolution. Are there any special chars in your path where your project lives (like ! or any special char)?

[CallMeFoxie]

https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/5320
possibly?

hah got ninja'd by @Atinux by 24 seconds! :D

[purrplingcat]

I don't think about windows paths difference and abnormality :laughing: @CallMeFoxie

[simonl65]

You're kidding me! I've lost hours due to an exclamation mark in my folder path! @CallMeFoxie / @Atinux you're stars - thank you so much! (Arrgh! Must stop using exclamation marks!).

Thanks peeps.
