Hi @arimtiaz 

Can you share your project structure?
Also, what kind of database did you use, sqllite?mysql?mongo? which one? Or other.

After following these steps https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/scaffold-app i get the same error. The Console gives me further output, that some files like ../app/routes/webhooks.jsx failed to load with the question if the file does exist. But when i browse the project structure all files are present.

shopify cli version 3.63.2

I'm getting the same error. 

I tried replacing the character '~' by "." in the following line of file "shopify.server.js":

  import prisma from "./db.server";

Now the error happens in another import, but with the same '~' issue:

For some reason the path setting on tsconfig.json is not being recognized

"paths": {
"~/*": ["./app/*"]
},

 

So, the quickly solution is replacing "~" by "." or ".." according to the location of the file. 

It is working for me:

Hopefully somebody will post how to solve the issue with tsconfig.json to avoid replacing "~" in every file.

Hello, 

 

thank you for the quick response! The replacement of "~" by "." or ".." worked for me as well.
