Webpack: Not all dependencies are available after install
Today I thought of giving the Vue-CLI a go. The installer completes fine. When i cd into the project that was generated and run npm install it installs and outputs:
+-- [email protected]
`-- [email protected]
Then, when i run. The first dependency that is missing is shown.
module.js:471
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'chalk'
I can install that one, but new ones keep popping up. Did I overlook something? Or is the template broken?

Looks like you somehow did npm install --production and installed dependencies only but you need to install the dev dependencies as well

@posva pretty sure this is broken.
It's simple to re-create.
Install latest cli, create new webpack project, run npm install then npm run dev and it fails.
Running npm run build works fine and creates the app which can run without issue, but the dev build fails on my work computer and my home desktop and laptop. I don't know how many more times I can test it...

I did not use npm install --production. As @phillip-haydon states, it's easily reproduced.

@phillip-haydon , this one shows that your port is in use. Maybe you have a different Node instance running on the same port?

Hmm. It appears to be working now. I was working from a terminal in Atom. But it seems that that terminal is a bit errornous when it comes to admin rights. Not all dependencies were installed, nor available.
I got it working now.

Port 8080 is taken but I just restarted my computer and i get the same error. But running my personal project on 8080 works...
I'm confused.

Hi, this sould not be closed, my client just had the same issue after trying to launch the application on Gandi Simple Hosting (I can't reproduce though, I don't have access to his server).
I guess the npm install did not install chalk since its a dev dependency, but then the server tried to build the app and failed. Maybe I missed something about the production deployment process ?

@eric-burel : Do you think the problem can arise from a resolution of the address of node_modules. $PATH error or something ?
In my case, after having manually installed "chalk", the error to start over again with "semver", "shelljs", "webpack-merge"...

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::8080
Easy to solve! The port 8080 is in use, you need to find the PID and kill it. Try it:
Find the PID using the port:
netstat -a -o | find "8080"
Kill the PID (-f to force the stopping proccess)
taskkill /pid [Number of PID found above] /f

@MathieuRigard same here.
Any solution, gentlemen?

@leodutra To solve this for now we simply built the app as static files (index.js, index.html, index.css or smth like that) and hosted them on the server. The issue was caused by trying to build on a production server (so no devDependcies) and still trying to launch the server provided by the template (which is a dev server and rely on devDependencies).

@eric-burel I am running into this right now as well. Everything is working fine on my laptop, but once I push to a production server and trigger a node build/build.js, it fails and complains about chalk.
I realized I was putting myself into a recursive loop when I checked for the production flag:
[email protected]$ npm config get production
false
Then I looked in node modules:
[email protected]$ ls node_modules | grep chalk
[email protected]$
Frustrated, I started poking around and realized that I was using an old version of node. Go figure!
I updated node to the most recent version like this:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Once I did that, everything worked as expected.
Why updating node suddenly caused chalk to become available is beyond me, though with some previous comments talking about how manually installing chalk just caused more problems from other packages, I wonder if it's something to do with the node version itself.

@eric-burel I see...
I confirm the issue in vue webpack and pwa templates ( https://github.com/vuejs-templates/pwa/issues/152 ).
I know build is not supposed to be run in production, but its common to use NODE_ENV=production in an intermediary CI, when building for production.
This causes a common conflict and I think it's relevant.
More than that, it will stress more build systems for downloading more deps than necessary... reason why devDependencies exists. I think the real clear solution would be "buildDependencies", but thats not a reality on npm or yarn...
Maybe considering the final environment on build is not so insane and is being done by some devs instinctively.
