Topic summary
Issue: Multiple developers encounter a “Cannot Find Module” error when creating Shopify apps using the CLI, specifically with Remix template. The error occurs immediately after scaffolding without any code modifications.
Root Cause: The problem stems from path alias configuration in tsconfig.json. Import statements using the ~ character (e.g., import prisma from "~/db.server") are not being recognized properly.
Workaround Found: Replace the ~ path alias with relative paths (. or ..) based on file location. For example:
- Change
import prisma from "~/db.server"toimport prisma from "./db.server" - Adjust according to each file’s directory structure
This manual replacement resolves the module resolution errors. The discussion includes screenshots showing the error messages and project structure. The issue appears to affect the default Shopify CLI scaffolding process, suggesting a potential configuration problem with the generated template.
