• [x] I confirm that this is an issue rather than a question.

Bug report

Steps to reproduce

• create a vue js project with vue create examples
• adding --save-dev vuepress@next 1.0.0-rc.1

• running "docs": "vuepress dev --no-clear-screen"

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  title: 'VuePress Docgen',
  description: 'Preview your components',
  themeConfig: {
    nav: [
      { text: 'Home', link: '/' },
      { text: "Components Examples", link: "/components/" },

What is expected?

it should just work when we run the doc

What is actually happening?

Sorry, I have a similar issue.

Inside an Existing Vue Project

• yarn add vuepress -D
• add a config.js in .vuepress folder.

module.exports = {
  title: 'Hello VuePress',
  description: 'Just playing around',
  configureWebpack: config => {
  },
  chainWebpack: (config, isServer) => {
    // console.log(config);
    // config is an instance of ChainableConfig
  },
}

• add README.md in src/pages/sitemap
• yarn docs:dev

"scripts": {
    "docs:dev": "vuepress dev src/pages/sitemap",
    "docs:build": "vuepress build src/pages/sitemap"
  },

This looks like maybe a problem introduced by 1.0.3... I was experiencing the same problem and rolled back to 1.0.2 and I no longer receive that error.

i will try to find the error in 1.0.3 next week i cant till there because coming to Canada ^^

[rubyil]

I removed node_modules and global vuepress installation, then ran npm install in the project folder and this solved the issue.

[f3ltron]

i dont understand how it can solve the problem to do that. I dont have vuepress global install. And npm install will install the exact same packages

[blindedbymscience]

I'd like to add that I also encountered this error.

At first I thought it had to do with an async promise in my custom component (in this case it was a cognito login popup) but after troubleshooting for a while I found that the issue only came up when I ran a build.

npm run docs:build

Diving deeper into the error messaging I found that it wasn't a problem with async code in the component, but rather that my component referenced "window" in it's environment detection logic.

Window isn't available when your code is building - thats a browser thing.

Hopefully this helps you figure out the issue.

[chris-dura]

Window isn't available when your code is building - thats a browser thing.

This means, depending on your component usage, you _may_ need to use the <ClientOnly/> builtin component, or move the window code to a mounted() or beforeMount() hook in your component.

However, this doesn't _precisely_ explain why it happens in 1.0.3 and _not_ 1.0.2 ... so I still believe there may be something else still at play with 1.0.3.

[f3ltron]

@blindedbymscience you faced the same issue but it was about window after you investigate ? I am not sure i understand here ^^. I will check if i can have more infos in my day off this weekend

observation 1: The intersting fact here is i cloned vuepress and link it to my project and it's working... npm problem maybe. Because the project is using yarn for boostrap etc

observation 2: Not an npm problem same project with yarn install same problem but the link work

[blindedbymscience]

@f3ltron In my case, the build was failing while running on AWS CodeBuild -in that Node environment there was no "window" object so that component was throwing errors while the build was running.

As soon as I removed the call in my code to window the build ran fine.

[f3ltron]

ok this is not relevant to this bug so

[sinaa]

I am facing the same issue, however, in my case, I am defining a custom plugin.

Everything compiles fine if I use a for .. in loop in the code, but fails if I use a for .. of loop in the module. I imagine it has something to do with the way the transpiling/webpack logic are set up.

[brentcappello]

Same issue. Clean install into a clean project. V1.0.3.
I'm still investigating.

[f3ltron]

i will try to revert the thing in the #1708
