File .babelrc is Missing

[bretonio]

Projects generated with the CLI after upgrading to @quasar/cli will not answer to build or dev but instead cite a missing .babelrc file when quasar dev is run.

 Dev mode.......... spa
 Quasar theme...... mat

At first quasar-framework and quasar-cli were listed as missing so I rran an npm i -S on them.

when I ran an npm ls in the project directory it listed @babel/core as a missing peer dependency. Or more particularly @babel/core@>=7.0.0-beta.50 <7.0.0-rc.0 as required by a long list of plugins.

I have schlepped through the upgrade guide too and as well and ran yarn upgrade quasar@latest.At this point vue@^2.5.0 is named as an unmet dependency so I install it but no matter, .babelrc remains missing.

But there is still Step 7 to do: remove .babelrc and create babel.config.js… Fresh out of ideas other than to repeat npm remove quasar-cli and npm i -g @quasar/cli. And but then angular create remains a command not found.

Any help much thanked.

This is a little confusing. Are you attempting to build a 0.17 project? If not, then I imagine you still have an old copy of quasar-cli in the global npm or yarn namespace.

@bretonio were you able to figure this out? I’m experiencing the same issue…

Thanks!

He was right. It is because you were using old version.

Uninstall quasar-cli if you have it from <1.0 versions

$ npm uninstall -g quasar-cli

Node.js >= 8.9.0 is required.

$ npm install -g @quasar/cli

Try with above commands.

Thanks for your attention to this

Yes I have Node 12.6.0 (stable) installed.

And so I follow these official guidelines.

Then I call up a fresh terminal session and try to run a quasar create … which should have replaced quasar init with the upgrade.

Typing quasar create after the upgrad you get unknown command. And a project created with quasar init yields the following still.

app:paths ️ Error. This command must be executed inside a Quasar v0.15+ project folder.
app:paths For Quasar pre v0.15 projects, npm uninstall -g quasar-cli; npm i -g quasar-cli@0.6.5

Note that, quasar-cli instead of @quasar/cli…

But this actually worked for me: I installed globally the optional @quasar/app `` and then tried as suggested running an npx quasar dev in a troublesome project with its missing .babelrc. With that the project carries out quasar dev as desired even though quasar-cli and quasar-framework are not found by a quasar info…

And this is my ugly kludge for now. Sorry for confusion, mine and yours.

@bretonio prolly not related node 10.16.0 is current stable (LTS), 12+ is latest.

[bretonio]

Thanks will take a gander.

In the meantime what does the trick for me for now is npx quasar dev in the project root … applies the globally installed Quasar CLI …
