Module @teambit\\legacy\\bin\\bit.js not found

[JanDa-ma]

Hi there, I have installed bvm and bit.

C:\Users\Damma>bvm version

current (used) bvm version: 0.0.34
latest available bvm version: 0.0.34
current (used) bit version: 0.0.668
latest installed bit version: 0.0.668
latest available bit version: 0.0.668
When I run the command bit, this is the output

C:\Users\Damma>bit

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:888
  throw err;

Do you know how to solve this?

Recently we've faced this issue too on Windows. Any news on this one?

I am also seeing this same error when my pre-commit hook (using lint-staged) runs the command bit build. Strangely however, running this command manually doesn't result in this error and it works just fine.

I have the same issue following the Quick Start guide when you try to fork the second component under Building the Components section.

I have this issue when running bit compile && bit link as a post install script. The error doesn't occur the first time pnpm install is run, but every subsequent run after that it does. I can also run bit compile && bit link manually with no issues.

@JanDa-ma try to run npm i @teambit/bvm inside your workspace and then run bit start again

My initial "bit compile && bit link" was working ok but any attempt to run bit would fail after that unless i deleted my node_modules

this is because after I run "bit install" i would then have new copy of bit command in node modules/.bin/bit but have the dependency "@teambit/bvm" missing.

But dont go installing the dependency. I think "bit" assumes you be using the global install of bit.

I had this issue because i set my PATH incorrectly in my .bash_profile after following some instructions incorrectly (see https://bit.dev/reference/reference/using-bvm/#troubleshooting)

I had export PATH="$PATH:/Users/user/bin" but should be export PATH="/Users/user/bin:$PATH"

I hope this helps someone.

issue is no longer relevant.

installation for bit should be done by BVM, as noted in the docs.
