Hi there,

Running on MacOS 10.15.4, with all the prerequisites listed in the doc. npm start doesn't produce any output. yarn start gives:

ERROR in ./node_modules/@nodegui/nodegui/dist/lib/utils/addon.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../../../build/Release/nodegui_core.node' in '/Users/bob/local-projects/trynodegui/nodegui-starter/node_modules/@nodegui/nodegui/dist/lib/utils'
 @ ./node_modules/@nodegui/nodegui/dist/lib/utils/addon.js 3:14-65
 @ ./node_modules/@nodegui/nodegui/dist/lib/core/FlexLayout.js
 @ ./node_modules/@nodegui/nodegui/dist/index.js
 @ ./src/index.ts
error Command failed with exit code 2.

Any idea what might be the problem? Thanks!

Yes seems like a build issue

  1. Try with removing node_modules folder and re installing using yarn install

or

  1. do
cd ./node_modules/@nodegui/nodegui

npm run build:addon

cd ...

yarn start

Thanks, number 2 worked!

With an extra step:

It was complaining about not finding Qt config files. brew install qt seemed to have fixed it. I don't know if this is the proper way though.

thats pretty strange. Looks like it failed to download the qt files in your case.
Qt files are usually setup by nodegui itself on npm install.

Anyway please report back in case you face issues.

Just another data-point. I encountered the above Error: Can't resolve '../../../build/Release/nodegui_core.node' and looking for the file I realised it was, indeed, no longer there. It had been there for several days, and NodeGUI builds had been functioning well. No idea why the entire build dir vanished, I'm going to blame some yarn operation in a different repository, since I'm using yarn link to pull one repo into another.

Running yarn install --force in the project's root dir seems to have restored all the missing files.
