Couldn't find shopify.app.toml

[blanklob]

Did you try to run: yarn run dev -- --reset or npm run dev -- --reset

[pkyek1]

yes

but same error

[byrichardpowell]

Please can you confrim that your codebase contains a shopify.app.toml file?

[gonzaloriestra]

Could you try running yarn shopify app config link? That should recreate the missing configuration file. More info: https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli/configuration

i have the same error i create a new app and after npm run dev says

error
│
│ Couldn't find the configuration file for │
│ /Users/maru/Desktop/... │
│ you in an app directory?

macos m1

[gonzaloriestra]

@maru-mm could you please share detailed reproduction steps and the output of npm run dev -- --verbose?

[joelvh]

For me, I get this error when there's a space in the path to the app. When I moved it to a folder without a space in the name, it worked.

[maru-mm]

@gonzaloriestra i resolved the problem updated the version app with the latest of this days

[joelvh]

FWIW I still got the error with the latest version from today until I removed the space in the path to the app.

I'm closing since the template has no issue.

@joelvh I've tested this template from the CLI with a folder including spaces in Mac/Windows and it works for me. Could you please open an issue in https://github.com/Shopify/cli adding as much details as you can? Thanks!

@gonzaloriestra If it worked for you, it could be spaces or parenthesis in the path (since I had both). And technically I believe it was also symlinked. If that gives you an idea of what else to try, it might help reproduce it. Otherwise, I'll see when I get a chance to create a ticket with more test results.

[djkgamc]

This bug is still active on shopify/cli 3.49.6. I also had spaces and parenthesis, no symlink. Switching to a folder without them fixed the issue, but I was tearing my hair out until I discovered this page, so it's worth fixing this bug

[JasonHassold]

I just ran into this issue as well, it would be nice if the error message at least told you that the folder name is the issue

[Nilesh-Aditya]

I still get this error to this day with @shopify/cli @gonzaloriestra can you please try folder named something like Name - (temp), it might help you reproduce this problem.

In my case it happens in a pnpm workspace.

• It doesn't work if i run the command like so: pnpm --filter projectName dev <-- shows error
• it works fine if i go to the folder and run it form there: cd path/to/project && pnpm dev <-- no error

I don't know why. It's beyond my level of understanding. Hope it helps someone with similar setup.

[gonzaloriestra]

@mihaiiova to run a command from outside of the project folder, you must pass the path flag: pnpm --filter projectName dev --path path/to/project or if you have the CLI installed globally: shopify app dev --path path/to/project
