Workspace At Latest With Vue App, Unable To Add Any Npm Package

by ADMIN 64 views

Introduction

Setting up a workspace with a Vue app using Vite can be a straightforward process, but sometimes, issues can arise when trying to install additional npm packages. In this article, we will explore the problem of being unable to add any npm package to a Vue app in a workspace setup with Vite.

Current Behavior

After setting up a workspace with a Vite/Vue app, you may encounter issues when trying to install other npm packages. The generator may have successfully installed the required packages, and running serve and test commands may work without any issues. However, when you try to install additional packages using npm install or npm install all, the process fails.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is to be able to install packages without any issues. This should allow you to add new dependencies to your project and continue developing without any roadblocks.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Setup a workspace with Vue and Vite: Create a new workspace using the create-workspace command with Vite and Vue as the default tools.
  2. Test server and tests: Verify that the server and tests work as expected.
  3. Try installing another npm package: Attempt to install an additional npm package using npm install or npm install all.
