Cannot Initialize New Project w/ Next.js & nextjs-styleguide

[bstaruk]

Describe the Bug

It is currently impossible to initialize and start a new JSS project on a Macbook with an Apple Silicon chip, using Next.js and the nextjs-styleguide boilerplate.

To Reproduce

1. Initialize a fresh project with the current settings. Everything was left default, except for selecting the nextjs-styleguide addon initializer in the last step:

2. cd nextjs to navigate into the project directory
3. npm run start to start the project

This results in:

> sitecore-jss-app@22.0.0 start
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development JSS_MODE=disconnected "npm-run-all --serial bootstrap --parallel next:dev start:disconnected-proxy start:watch-components"

node:events:497
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn npm-run-all --serial bootstrap --parallel next:dev start:disconnected-proxy start:watch-components ENOENT
    at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:286:19)
    at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:484:16)

  path: 'npm-run-all --serial bootstrap --parallel next:dev start:disconnected-proxy start:watch-components',
  spawnargs: []
}

Node.js v20.14.0

Expected Behavior

Given this is a fresh installation, the app should run without erroring/crashing.

Possible Fix

No response

Provide environment information

• Sitecore Version: None (attempting to run in disconnected mode for now)
• JSS Version: 22.0.0 (latest)
• Browser Name and version: Mac Terminal
• Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): Mac OS 14.5 (latest) on a 14" MacBook Pro w/ M3 Pro chip

@bstaruk
Thank you for the report. We saw some issues with config formattign causing build issues on Macs. They should be fixed via #1791 and included in the next upcoming release.
You can apply it ( extra .trim() in scripts/generate-config) right now however, the fix is app-level only.

I am running into the same issue even after applying the fix with adding the .trim(). Is there any update on this?

[yavorsk]

Hi @bnmn1895, what version of jss are you using? The fix for this issue is part of v22.1.0.

[bnmn1895]

I tried following the docs so I guess it still was v21.x.

I see the same problem with JSS 22.2.1 on my MacBook Pro with a M1 chip. Replacing cross-env with cross-env-shell in the package.json file makes things start up.

hey @larserhardsen thanks for providing the workaround.
we need to include some proper testing for mac os users, so I've added a topic for our team to discuss.
