@raffertyuy thanks for the report! But I"m unable to reproduce this issue. Maybe you can try to drop Codeworkspaces VM and create a new one?

I tested with the smallest (2 CPU) Codespaces instance, as well as running the app inside of a DevContainer locally.

Hi @koistya , I tried with 2 core and 4 core but didn't work. Now I tried deleting the entire repo and regenerated from scratch. Here are the errors I'm getting.

When starting codespaces, it will prompt to install a bunch of add-ons and then start with this (node version 16.19.0?) image

Since the above included yarn install, I basically tried yarn start, yarn install and yarn start again. I'm getting this zx error, also node version defaults to 19.6.0.

This is the forked public repo.

Thank you for the help!

Does yarn node ./scripts/start.js work? Or, yarn workspace app start? In that case, we can replace zx ./scripts/start.js with node ./scripts/start.js in the package.json file:

Hi @koistya , sorry for the late reply.

yarn node ./scripts/start.js and node ./scripts/start.js runs image

but both result to image

It appears that the issue is only for repos created through the Template.

The following worked

  1. Running codespaces straight from https://github.com/kriasoft/react-starter-kit will work.
  2. Cloning https://github.com/kriasoft/react-starter-kit and copy files into another repo. Start codespaces from there.

In both of these cases, zx isn't preinstalled, so the following sequence is what worked for me.

  1. yarn install
  2. npm install -g zx
  3. yarn start

After doing a file/folder compare between the template and the main repo, a lot of files are very different. Maybe the template is an older version?

Let me know if there's an issue with using the code from the main repo without using the template.
