Same problem here

[manucorporat]

do you get the error message of why it failed to install dependencies?

[adamdbradley]

This isn't the fix, but it should help log any errors we're not seeing: https://github.com/BuilderIO/qwik/pull/4187

[sarvex]

@manucorporat I do not get any error

This isn't the fix, but it should help log any errors we're not seeing: https://github.com/BuilderIO/qwik/pull/4187

@adamdbradley Shall I merge this in my personal fork and try again?

[manucorporat]

Can you try again in 1.1.2? it should print the error message!

Ok! This gives me an idea of what’s going on!! We should be able to fix it in next release

Any Linux dev system running systemd (probably most) will fail with this because tmpfs is in RAM and you can't perform a move from one device to another, since move/rename is supposed to be atomic.

In the case of cross-device like this, the cli will need to copy and remove the original instead.

Same for scenarios like the one in this issue with the temp/store on a different drive from the project in Windows, etc.

[sarvex]

@jordanw66 even windows users are facing the problem because of pnpm store is not under the project.

The first run of pnpm fails on Windows as the store is linked to the temp folder and asks to recreate the whole node_modules directory.

ERR_PNPM_UNEXPECTED_VIRTUAL_STORE  Unexpected virtual store location

The dependencies at "C:\Users\Yoga\Sources\qwik-app\node_modules" are currently symlinked from the virtual store directory at "C:\Users\Yoga\AppData\Local\Temp\create-qwik-1x4j7iljd2b\node_modules\.pnpm".

pnpm now wants to use the virtual store at "C:\Users\Yoga\Sources\qwik-app\node_modules\.pnpm" to link dependencies from the store.

If you want to use the new virtual store location, reinstall your dependencies with "pnpm install".

You may change the virtual store location by changing the value of the virtual-store-dir config.

@manucorporat we need to change the location to the sub-folder of the project.

■   yarn install failed

@ianlet are you using the latest version of Qwik?

[ianlet]

@ianlet are you using the latest version of Qwik?

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention it:

@builder.io/qwik: 1.2.10
@builder.io/qwik-city: 1.2.10
vite: 4.4.7
undici: 5.1.6

[zanettin]

Hi @ianlet Just a quick question: when u run the install w/o selecting the install dependencies option and then cd into the app dir, would it then successfully install w/o errors?

[ianlet]

Hi @zanettin Yes, in my case it does install without errors.

[mhevery]

I just tested the latest version, and all dependencies installed as expected for npm and pnpm but fail for yarn

Closing this issue in favor of https://github.com/BuilderIO/qwik/issues/5045

[zanettin]

Sry to reopen this one @mhevery . I assume the problem on this issue is the background install which starts to download the npm packages as early as possible and moves them then into the final dir. the issue you linked is caused by the fact, that yarn create qwik@latest doesn't exist. but yarn create qwik works as expected 👍 (https://qwik.builder.io/docs/getting-started/#create-an-app-using-the-cli)

[karthikjn01]

I'm running into this too @zanettin - just trying to run bun create qwik@latest as is on the website and I'm getting the following issue: EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted, rename '/var/folders/7c/c396xbkd7sbbj_5zz4mk1nlr0000gn/T/create-qwik-u5d7s6a9ia/node_modules' -> '/.../node_modules'

Any help would be much appreciated.

[karthikjn01]

Just to expand a bit from the previous comment - I tried bun, npm and yarn all coming up with the same issue.

[karthikjn01]

So I ended up fixing the issue with:

npm install fs-extra then

node -e "require('fs-extra').move('/var/folders/7c/c396xbkd7sbbj_5zz4mk1nlr0000gn/T/create-qwik-1rnvb666kff/node_modules', '/Volumes/Primary/Code/.../.../node_modules', { overwrite: true }, console.log)"

No idea what the original issue was but thanks perplexity.ai for the fix 😂

Facing same issue with node(20.11.0), npm(10.2.4), Ubuntu 22.04

npm create qwik@latest

I just tested the latest version, and all dependencies installed as expected. So I'm closing this issue for now, feel free to re-open it if it's still an issue for you.
