Webpack-encore: error Command "encore" not found.

[engharb]

Hello,
I have installed Encore in Symfony3.3 on linux-VM.

 composer require encore
 yarn install

when I run yarn run encore dev I got error Command "encore" not found.

I have checked node_modules/.bin/ and it contains only uuid.

Do you have any suggestion?

regards,

[petegore]

Hi engharb,
Any error displayed during yarn install ?

[engharb]

Hi petegore,
Yes here is it when I run yarn install

Okay I don't see anything about encore there. Can you run ls -al node_modules/.bin/ ?
And by the way, do you run composerand yarn into the same folder ?

[engharb]

here is the result ls: cannot access 'node-modules/': No such file or directory

but the file node-modules exists in the project.

[engharb]

this is the right one ls -al node_modules/

and works.

[petegore]

Yep sorry I meant node_modules/ dir

[stof]

@petegore there is nothing about encore in the error message. But there is an error during the yarn install. so if the failure happened before encore itself was installed, this explains what it is bot here.
And even if encore was there, some of its dependencies may also be missing due to the yarn install failure. So having a working setup involves making yarn install work.

[engharb]

@stof
I haven't any errors while running composer require encore.

[petegore]

Can't it be a permissions issue ? Yarn not allowed to create bin files ; or the user unable to execute it ?

[Lyrkan]

@petegore Could you try updating yarn ? the version you're using is quite old (yarn install doesn't exist anymore and has been replaced by yarn add)

[stof]

@engharb composer requiring encore is just about applying a Flex recipe generating the package.json with a encore requirement. this is not installing encore, because Encore is not a PHP package, but a node.js one.

[engharb]

After i run : $ yarn add @symfony/webpack-encore --dev

yarn add v0.21.3

it is the same error.

@stof should I try to install it using npm if possible?

[stof]

@engharb yes, you can try

[Lyrkan]

@engharb You're still using the same outdated version of Yarn there:

yarn add v0.21.3
[1/4] Resolving packages...
[2/4] Fetching packages...

Yarn v0.21.3 was released almost a year ago, the current stable version is the 1.3.2.

Try the following:

• Remove the node_modules directory and the yarn.lock file if you have one
• Update yarn to v1.3.2 (see https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
• Run yarn add --dev @symfony/webpack-encore again

[engharb]

thank you a lot,
I followed the instructions from @Lyrkan and it was succeeded.

regards,

Hi everyone I have the same problem and I want to share with you my solution
First, I change my package. Json to this

{
"devDependencies": {
"@symfony/webpack-encore/": "^0.22.0",
"webpack-notifier": "^1.6.0"
},
"license": "UNLICENSED",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev-server": "encore dev-server",
"dev": "./node_modules/@symfony/webpack-encore/bin/encore.js dev",
"watch": "./node_modules/@symfony/webpack-encore/bin/encore.js dev --watch",
"build": "./node_modules/@symfony/webpack-encore/bin/encore.js production --progress"
}
}

and I run rhis command: yarn run dev

[TangMonk]

I already have a packge.json file before in my symfony project, I used Gulp to pre-compile my assets, Now I following the encore tutorial in documentation, but not works, So, I check the recipes in symfony, and add following to package.json:

 "scripts": {
        "dev-server": "encore dev-server",
        "dev": "encore dev",
        "watch": "encore dev --watch",
        "build": "encore production --progress"
    }

and reinstall yarn add --dev @symfony/webpack-encore, then everything works!

I think the documentation show be notice users that them are already have a package.json file

Thanks Lyrkan ,
It works for me in symfony 4.3.
