Upgrading to [email protected] shows error in package.json when running project

[chrisjaimes]

I created a bug for this #1228... but I thought it could be useful to open a discussion here on this issue.

When upgrading to 0.24.0, nexus breaks the project with a 'malformed' package.json file. The error in the console looks like this:

nexus package.json at /path/to/project/package.json was malformed

Package.json version field is not a string

The package.json dependencies look good to me as well:

"dependencies": {
    "@types/bcryptjs": "^2.4.2",
    "@types/jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.0",
    "bcryptjs": "^2.4.3",
    "cookie-parser": "^1.4.5",
    "cors": "^2.8.5",
    "dotenv": "^8.2.0",
    "jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.1",
    "nexus": "^0.24.0",
    "nexus-plugin-jwt-auth": "^1.1.1",
    "nexus-plugin-prisma": "^0.9.0",
    "uuid": "^8.1.0"
  },

any ideas what is causing this error?

I closed the issue #1228 and there I explain what I did to resolve it.

Hey @chrisjaimes, the reason for this error is that we added package.json validation. Here, given you package.json above, it was telling you that a version field in your package.json was missing. The error could indeed be better. Glad you were able to fix it 🙏
