Local development setup error on Windows - can't start dev server

[manish-pali]

Hi there ,

I'm trying to set up Dub in local dev env on Windows 11

When i run pnpm dev getting this error and ERROR run failed: command exited (1)

I found react-email was the problem so removed "email dev --port 3333" from dev script in apps/web

Server started but then I get Build Error

Changing postcss.config.js extention to postcss.config.cjs helps

It would be much appreciated if someone could help me with email cli problem

I'm using Windows 10 and pnpm@8.6.10 and facing the same issue. Hope someone fixes this soon.

You can try setting up on wsl worked for me.

@shreyash010 I tried setting up docker and the project in wsl but it takes forever to load localhost:8888.
Can you please tell me what sequence of steps you took to setup the project successfully.

Hi, @manish-pali, I fixed this issue in my system. It was a very silly mistake from my end though.

I created .env file in dub/ directory instead of dub/apps/web directory.
There's also a .env.example file for reference.
Once .env file was moved, all of my error were fixed.

If this works for you too you can close the issue.

Hello, @NirbhaySirsikar,
good to hear that it worked for you but I already placed my .env file in the right place

@manish-pali , Additional to that, closing instances of any localhost:3334 and localhost:8888 did work for me.
Also, let the script run without interfering with the system.

It works 80% of the time. If it doesn't I restart my terminal because sometimes files are resource locked.
