I run this error while trying to create the "convex/tasks.ts" from the NextJS quickstart.

Hi @shanghuang, did you figure this out? It looks like you need to install convex. Since it looks like you're using yarn, I think what you want in yarn add convex

shanghuangOP•2y ago

Hi Tom, thanks for you reply. I wan't able to figure this out yet. Yarn was not used in the project. I was following the quickstart guide for nextjs. using npm. I am sure the package is installed. I was able to

npx convex import tasks sampleData.jsonl

npx convex import tasks sampleData.jsonl

and sees the data on Convex dashboard. When it gets to preparing Convex functions.... for tasks.ts, it jumps up this erorr:

Do you intend to be using yarn plug'n'play? The error makes it sound like you need to add convex to that file, ../.pnp.cjs

shanghuangOP•2y ago

that's what i thought so. But I don't have yarn on my develop machine, and i can't find a .pnp.cjs on the machine. My guess is that it has somethign to do with the previous yarn I installed. But, at this moment, i can't spot the error. Hi Tom, after installing a clean version of MacOS, installed node through Brew. It still jumps up the same message.

jamwt•2y ago

@shanghuang what's the output of npm i

Michal Srb•2y ago

@shanghuang I'd make sure to start with a fresh project directory that never uses Yarn.

shanghuangOP•2y ago

Hi @jamwt , the message after npm install convex, , and the message after npm i.

shanghuangOP•2y ago

@Michal Srb I am pretty sure it's a fresh project and a fresh development machine. The operation system was just reset to factory default. Then used brew and npm to install a couple of required packages.

jamwt•2y ago

@shanghuang can you rm -rf the convex/_generated folder and then just try npx convex codegen by itself?

Michal Srb•2y ago

Do you have .pnp.cjs in the project folder? ls -al to see all files. (if yes, delete it with rm .pnp.cjs)

shanghuangOP•2y ago

Hi Michal, No, I don't have .pnp.cjs in the project folder.

shanghuangOP•2y ago

Hey Jamie, Thanks for looking into this issue. I try to rm the _generate fold. But still, the issue raised.

jamwt•2y ago

This appears to be triggered by a .pnp.cjs file in the parent directory… ~/Code

Problem solved! Thanks @jamwt , and Thanks @Michal Srb as well. I should have checked the parent folder. I love the concept and idea behind convex, so wanna try it out and introduce to my friends !!
