I can confirm the same here. Latest MacOS, Macbook Air M1 running PHP through Herd.

You need to enable corepack for node via running corepack enable in terminal.

If you are Node.js ^16.17 or >=18.6
corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate

I was able to run basic application after enabling corepack.

I can confirm the same. Yarn is run when starting NativePHP App. It has to be added to the documentation as a requirement.

[joebenson]

Another confirmation here that Yarn seems to be required 👍

This did it for me, however now i'm running in to this issue #16, so i'll move on from this thread :)

Thanks, @mraheelkhan !

That work for me. It is running now. But when native:install and native:serve, that only published NativeAppServiceProvider. I don't even get config file.

In the command indeed they use yarn but I wonder if it's not just an error since for the install they use npm.

Process::path(__DIR__.'/../../resources/js/')
            ->env([
                'APP_PATH' => base_path(),
                'NATIVEPHP_PHP_BINARY_PATH' => base_path('vendor/nativephp/php-bin/bin/mac'),
                'NATIVEPHP_CERTIFICATE_FILE_PATH' => base_path('vendor/nativephp/php-bin/cacert.pem'),
                'NATIVE_PHP_SKIP_QUEUE' => $this->option('no-queue') ? true : false,
            ])
            ->forever()
            ->tty()
            ->run('yarn run dev', function (string $type, string $output) {
                if ($this->getOutput()->isVerbose()) {
                    echo $output;
                }
            });

@Amorfx , I found that last night and wanted to change yarn run dev into npm run dev to see the output.

[Amorfx]

@mraheelkhan I tried and then came across the issue : #27

I have yarn installed. But when I try to run native:serve. It comes with errors.

error during start dev server and electron app:

Is there anyone have the same things and has solved the problem?

@irsyadadl , I remember someone posted a solution for this on other issues, maybe check this out #27

Alright, but this is will only temporary, isn't it. I don't think modify the vendor is legal 👯

[mraheelkhan]

@irsyadadl , Yes, that's correct, it's only a temporary fix so can give a shot to NativePhp. :-)

[irsyadadl]

Thank you @mraheelkhan

[joewardpr]

Same issue. This didn't work:

corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate

I guess I'll come back in a few weeks after a few revisions and updates to the documentation. I see that Jordan Dalton was able to get it installed, but then several of the core features wouldn't work for him. So, alpha is alpha. Exciting, but hard to differentiate between user error on my/our part and what just might be the initial pains of a brand new alpha release.

Yarn is now no longer used and we default to npm everywhere
