Errors during `vue add nativescript-vue` with CLI v4

[mdartic]

Hello,

I'm trying this plugin, and, first of all, thanks for the work to make this available.
Nevertheless, I encounter some bugs / problems during installation... with @vue/cli v4 .

Maybe related to #2 (comment)

When I create a new project with vue create my-dir, choosing some options with vue-router, then vue add nativescript-vue with options :

? Enter a unique application identifier: org.blabla.blibli
? Use HTML5 history mode? (Default: hash mode) Yes
? Is this a brand new project? (Default: Yes) Yes
? Dual Native AND Web development experience or a Native only? (Default: Dual) Dual Native AND Web
? What type of template do you want to start with? (Default: Simple) Simple

I encounter this error :

 ERROR  Error: Cannot find module '@vue/cli-service/generator/router/template/src/router.js'
  from '/home/mdartic/workspace/madz/ns-code-sharing-sdis32/node_modules/vue-cli-plugin-nativescript-vue/generator/templates/simple/src'

I think it's related to the fact that in the CLI v4, the vue-router has a dedicated plugin.

I try to update the nativescript-vue CLI plugin in a fork with a commit updating some paths.
With this version, seems ok.

I add another commit for the vuex store. (but not tested 'cause I don't use vuex)
I'm not sure the moveSync and copy will work in a missing directory. (the genConfig.dirPathPrefix + genConfig.nativeAppPathModifier + 'store' dir doesn't exist yet ?)

I run yarn serve:web, and discover another error with sass-loader module missing.
I didn't say I was using sass (?!), but by adding this module as a dev dependency, webpack is happier.

So with a yarn add --dev sass-loader, yarn serve:web is ok and running on http://localhost:8080.

Now I go through Firefox on this URL, I encounter another error in Console Devtools :

[Vue warn]: Unknown custom element: <router-view> - did you register the component correctly? For recursive components, make sure to provide the "name" option.

found in

---> <App> at src/App.vue
       <Root>

When I go to the src/main.js, I can't see anymore the import of router.
I fix it directly in my code by importing the router and adding it to the new Vue({}) instruction.
I don't know exactly how to fix this in the main.js (and main.native.js ?) of the plugin.

After that, routing is ok for my web browser.

Then I try yarn serve:android with an android device connected in debug, and after installing a webpack-cli (by the plugin), it doesn't work, and I'm stucked with this error :

yarn serve:android

$ npm run setup-webpack-config && tns run android --env.development

Do you have an idea ?

Are you interested by a PR with my code for the router/store issues ?

Can't we use the vue.config.js to make this android / ios jobs ? and avoid installing a webpack ? Just reuse the webpack already installed ?

Thanks for your reply

Hi I have found another solution to start project now.

1. Remove your vue/cli
2. Install vue/cli v3
3. Start the project
4. Upgrade vue cli if you need

[mdartic]

Thanks @SergeyKons for your help.
I found help in nativescript slack "vue" channel.
By using the CLI v3, it's ok !

But, maybe we can make this plugin work with the CLI v4 ?
I think the Cannot read property '__expression' of undefined is a problem, but for the moment, I don't know how to fix it.
@jawa-the-hutt any ideas ?

[pratik-soni-einfochips]

I have facing same issue since last 5 day.

[mklueh]

I think this issue isn´t that appealing to new people including myself that are following the tutorials on their website, however maybe @jawa-the-hutt can look into that when he has some time

[mandaputtra]

@mklueh what website?

[pratik-soni-einfochips]

@acamenhas Use any minor version of vue 3.

[acamenhas]

@acamenhas Use any minor version of vue 3.

Thank you @pratik-soni-einfochips it worked!!!

[jawa-the-hutt]

I've merged PR #35 as well as done some other updates this morning. Update the plugin to 0.3.1 and see if this helps resolve the CLI 4.0 compatibility.

I'm not 100% for sure on this one as my global CLI install is 3.12.1, but in a test project, the local CLI version is 4.1.0. Because of this I'm not 100% for sure if CLI 4 will work or if it does, if this breaks CLI 3 behavior.

Since CLI 4 is the way forward for Vue, I've no real interest in trying to maintain backwards compatibility with CLI 3 as one of the major changes for CLI 4 was moving to webpack-chain v6.0 which breaks things with CLI 3 from what I can tell.

[jawa-the-hutt]

And FYI, 0.3.1 of this plugin should deploy a NS 6.3 compatible app. This also means you'll be on NS-Vue 2.5.0-alpha.3
