CLI not creating components.json (bun)

[diegoulloao]

Describe the bug

I'm running the command that the docs suggested bunx --bun shadcn-svelte@latest init but after complete all the steps I can't see the components.json file.

The file isn't created.

Reproduction

• Create a sveltekit project (latest version)
• Add tailwind, typescript if not added, etc.
• Run the command, follow the steps
• Check for the components.json file

I'm using bun and node v20.

Logs

The process exits with 0 code. No errors.

@diegoulloao Thanks for raising the issue!

I'm not sure why the --bun flag is included in the instructions. We haven't verified that the CLI works in the bun runtime, so it shouldn't be there.

Instead, try running bunx shadcn-svelte@latest init.

Additionally when I try to manually create the file, I get the following message when installing components
bunx --bun shadcn-svelte@latest add input:

ERROR: Invalid configuration found in /Users/diego/Projects/carta-dashboard/components.json.
error: "shadcn-svelte" exited with code 1 (SIGHUP)

components.json

{
  "style": "new-york",
  "tailwind": {
    "config": "tailwind.config.js"
  }
}

I already tried it. It throws an error saying this:

ERROR: Cannot find package 'typescript' imported from /private/tmp/shadcn-svelte@latest--bunx/node_modules/shadcn-svelte/dist/index.js
error: "shadcn-svelte" exited with code 1 (SIGHUP)

Related to this: #721

Only using the --bun flag works.

@AdrianGonz97 are you sure about this #725? Not using the --bun flag returns an error (at least for me). Please check my previous comments here.

[AdrianGonz97]

@diegoulloao I know for sure that we don't want --bun. We enforce using node with the shebang #!/usr/bin/env node in the CLI script, --bun overrides that.

The other error you're experiencing is a separate issue, which we're looking into now.

[AdrianGonz97]

@diegoulloao It looks to be some sort of module resolution issue for peer-dependencies in older versions of bun.

See if the following works for you:

bun upgrade
bun pm cache rm
rm -rf /private/tmp/shadcn-svelte@latest--bunx

After that, you should be able to run:

bunx shadcn-svelte@latest init

When I try to run, the program quits after response to the first question is answered and no components.js file is created:

One thing I just want to document is that when I initially ran
bunx shadcn-svelte@latest init
I said no to the first question and then quite (I just want to commit existing code before running it).
That was the first time I was running the command.
Now the questions don't proceed after the first one. The second question shows up but I don't get an opportunity to answer it and then I just get back to shell.

Same happened to me. You can just use npx for add a new component, it will respect the bun lock file.

Have you tried passing the —bun flag? Not sure if was removed.
