White screen on `npm run tauri dev`

[briantully]

I tried installing this by following the README, however I initially received a fatal error that @mui/material was not found. I got around that by running npm install @mui/material.

However now when I try running npm run tauri dev a small window opens up with just a white screen. There is no error in the terminal:

npm run tauri dev

> [email protected] tauri
> tauri dev

     Running BeforeDevCommand (`npm run dev`)

> [email protected] dev
> vite


  VITE v5.4.11  ready in 124 ms

Any idea why it's opening an empty window with no text or buttons?

I had the same problem. After a bit of debugging, I found it was also missing @emotion/styled.

npm i @emotion/styled to install the missing package, run and it was working.
