npm start fails on a fresh project

[Paul A Jungwirth]

Hello, I thought I'd give Solid a try, but the create script fails for me after running:

nvm use 14
yarn create solid app my-app
cd my-app
yarn install
npm start

I get this error:

paul@tal:~/src/billitate/grid/my-app$ npm start

> my-app@0.1.0 start /home/paul/src/billitate/grid/my-app
> solid-scripts start

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:818

I also tried with node 12 and npm init solid app my-app, but all variations gave me the same results.

Alright, I've reproduced. Thanks for reporting. I haven't updated this in months as we've mostly moved to Vite but somehow this has broken in the meanwhile. I will dig in and see what's going on.

[Ryan Carniato]

Ok, it should be fixed in solid-scripts 0.0.61. Essentially some downstream unlocked(*) dependency of PostCSS had a breaking change. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

[Paul A Jungwirth]

Looks like it works now. Thank you, and thank you for Sollid! I'm excited to try a JS framework with fast performance and small bundle size.

I'll probably give Vite a try soon, but I'm hoping to integrate this into a Rails app, so I expect using webpack will be easier.
