npx aborting creation #8896

akctba · 2020-04-25T15:43:49Z

The npx command is aborting and doesn't create the application.

I'm using the command:
npx create-react-app appexample

and at the end of the execution it prints:

Error [ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_TARGET]: Invalid "exports" main target "index.js" defined in the package config /Users/alexkayser/git/apptest/node_modules/is-promise/package.json

jpreis · 2020-04-25T16:21:11Z

Same here - good to know that others are having the problem as well. Thought I somehow screwed up my node installation 😱

Edit: I also tried globally installed create-react-app, same issue there.

Are you on v14.0.0?

YukaLangbuana · 2020-04-25T16:22:09Z

Dependency broke? Just need to wait for them I guess?

ChristopherNeill · 2020-04-25T16:27:14Z

same thing whats the solution

jasseral · 2020-04-25T16:29:53Z

nemethmik · 2020-04-25T16:31:10Z

Same here. It doesn't work any more neither on node 12 nor on 14, the error messages are different bit CRA stopped working :( I am on Mac.

minrelp · 2020-04-25T16:37:02Z

if you just want to create react app, you can do this while waiting for a fix:
step 1: yarn init -y

step 2: Insert this to package.json

"resolutions": {
    "is-promise": "2.1.0",
    "run-async/is-promise": "2.1.0"
  }

step 3: yarn add --dev create-react-app

step 4: yarn create-react-app ../my-app

MarkarianFR · 2020-04-25T16:38:12Z

I’m not sure this scheme is the most beneficial.

juliocorcini · 2020-04-25T16:38:32Z

Same Error Installing Firebase.

Just Wait?

SylCard · 2020-04-25T16:39:27Z

so its not me going cray this happening rn lol

sabin2000pro · 2020-04-25T17:22:38Z

I downgraded Node to 12.12.0 and everything works fine, so Node has been screwed up recently

Doesn't work for me.

sabin2000pro · 2020-04-25T17:30:04Z

@sabinlungudotcpp @Raahul5 Currently a Node dependency broke (then/is-promise#15) and they're working on it. For now, the idea is to somehow downgrade that dependency to the last working version. Node 12.12.0 works for me.

$ n 12.12.0
$ npx create-react-app react-sample

if that doesn't work, you can try downgrade the problematic dependency to 2.1.0 as mentioned here: then/is-promise#14 (comment)

$ npm install [email protected]

Still doesn't work. I still get the error I posted above.

vic2tee4u · 2020-04-25T17:31:25Z

Install NVM using this link then use that to install version 12.12.0. It worked for me. The instruction is clear

wzhang66 · 2020-04-25T17:40:15Z

Same here

@sabinlungudotcpp @Raahul5 Currently a Node dependency broke (then/is-promise#15) and they're working on it. For now, the idea is to somehow downgrade that dependency to the last working version. Node 12.12.0 and its included dependencies works for me.

$ n 12.12.0
$ npx create-react-app react-sample

if that doesn't work, you can try downgrade the problematic dependency by itself to 2.1.0 as mentioned here: then/is-promise#14 (comment)

$ npm install [email protected]

still not work can't create app

MarkKragerup · 2020-04-25T17:48:22Z

If you are on NPM, run:
npm install [email protected] --save --save-exact

rahuld109 · 2020-04-25T18:02:38Z

npm uninstall create-react-app
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm install -g [email protected]
create-react-app --help //to check if installed correctly, should return the help info
create-react-app confusion [email protected]
cd confusion
npm start

This creates the app but unable to do yarn start or npm start

jakejarvis · 2020-04-25T18:04:03Z

This should be fixed now that then/is-promise#15 is merged. :)

brentvatne · 2020-04-25T18:04:06Z

the author of is-promise has resolved the issue: then/is-promise#14 (comment)

it should work if you reinstall create-react-app if you have a global install, or use npx create-react-app

(this same issue impacted expo-cli and i confirmed it there too)

AngryR4v3n · 2020-04-25T18:12:05Z

It is also happening while trying to start an app, downgrading Node to 12.12.0 solved the issue.

rahuld109 · 2020-04-25T18:12:50Z

npm uninstall create-react-app
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npm install -g [email protected]
create-react-app --help //to check if installed correctly, should return the help info
create-react-app confusion [email protected]
cd confusion
npm start

This creates the app but unable to do yarn start or npm start

For Npm start and yarn start install
npm install [email protected] --save --save-exact

This resolved the issue for me
I'm on Node v14 latest one // resolved the must use import to load Es module //

Fixed for me

Raahul5 · 2020-04-25T18:19:54Z

If you are on NPM, run:
npm install [email protected] --save --save-exact

thanx #mark its work own app created :)

imarchit19 · 2020-04-25T18:26:00Z

npm uninstall create-react-app
npm uninstall -g create-react-app

Fixed for me

Thanks Man
This worked for me.

Steen3S · 2020-04-25T18:34:36Z

They fixed the issue, npx create-react-app should be working normal again.

elveskevtar · 2020-04-25T18:39:02Z

I was trying it for the last two hours on Mac instead of my windows machine. I thought that was the issue. Turns out it was just a problem with npm for the last few hours 🤦 ...

shiv41297 · 2020-04-25T18:39:26Z

@DEATRYDE thx bro, your way worked for me too. Great Work

chrisweb · 2020-04-25T18:46:23Z

It’s fixed see then/is-promise#20

malvesbertoni · 2020-04-25T19:16:03Z

if you just want to create react app, you can do this while waiting for a fix:
step 1: yarn init -y
step 2: Insert this to package.json
"resolutions": {
    "is-promise": "2.1.0",
    "run-async/is-promise": "2.1.0"
  }
step 3: yarn add --dev create-react-app
step 4: node node_modules/create-react-app/createReactApp.js ../my-app
this one worked for me

worked for me as well

badmus306 · 2020-04-25T19:56:43Z

I am having this issue as well

joeln18 · 2020-04-25T19:57:03Z

Gracias, me funciono también con node v12.16.
Solo que instale npm install [email protected] --save --save-exact

Daniel15 · 2020-04-27T04:21:19Z

This should be resolved now. As @brentvatne mentioned above, if you have create-react-app installed globally, uninstalling then reinstalling should fix it. Otherwise, npx create-react-app or yarn dlx create-react-app always uses the latest version.
