Which version of ppm are you using? Might be the same as #11208?

Which version of ppm are you using? Might be the same as #11208?

I use yarn, v1.22.19 in next.js project, node v16.15.0. I don't use pnpm directly

[Aaqu]

same problem on codesandbox, doesn't look like a local problem

[LeeLenaleee]

Seems you need to use V2 of yarn, its a wont fix in yarn

Same problem, I don't use pnpm directly, this "warning chart.js@4.2.1: The engine "pnpm" appears to be invalid." was in my GitLab pipeline.

Ones who use pnpm@8.x.x, this warning will be fixed probably in the next release.

This error is preventing me from being able to deploy my project to Vercel. Is there a workaround?

Can you try force version 7.x.x pnpm? https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/configure-a-build

[LeeLenaleee]

This will be fixed in V4.3.0

Workaround is to install the master branch instead of a package version untill it is released

Tried installing the master branch specifically (in a SvelteKit / Vite app):

pnpm i -D https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js#master

Results in this error:

[plugin:vite:import-analysis] Failed to resolve entry for package "chart.js".
The package may have incorrect main/module/exports specified in its package.json.

You installed the package as a dev dependency, could you try installing in this way:

pnpm add https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js#master

[yadoga]

Thanks. The module export error is persisting, unfortunately.

Same here. After installing chart.js through:

pnpm add https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js#master

I get the dependency in package.json:

but once I try to run my project (sveltekit) I get the infamous error:

[SilvesterCat73]

I realised that

pnpm add https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js#master

installs the master branch as is (without the dist folder).

I installed chart,js in a separate folder (as mentioned in the chart.js installation instructions from Github)

and built the project. I then copied the dist folder in my project node_modules/chart.js folder and now it seems to work.

[yadoga]

I guess that would be necessary as a manual copy-over on a production server as well then?

Would not mind an intermediate package release à la 4.2.5 or something… Would be a quick solution for this bug, as the source looks ready for it. @LeeLenaleee

This issue is fixed from a PR that was done a month ago. Why can't you do a 0.0.1 release just to fix this bug? The issue is just changing the package.json engine from ^7.0.0 to >= 7.0.0. It's really causing a lot of people headaches over something already fixed.

Hi @etimberg

Do you think you could do a hotfix release to fix this simple issue? (But yet causes a lot of problems)

#11209

It's been over a month since this was fixed.

[etimberg]

@ZetiMente sorry about this, I don't have a ton of time to spend on opensource at the moment. I've sent the version bump PR #11257 which would be the final step before a release.

[LeeLenaleee]

4.3 is released

https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/releases/tag/v4.3.0

yarn remove chart.js and yarn add chart.js am i still doing something wrong?

[LeeLenaleee]

Its only a warning, but you get that warning because you are using yarn V1 and need to use V2

#11214 (comment)

Why other modules don't have warning in V1? I can't understand this

I don't know if it applies here, Vercel enforces V1 for full support https://vercel.com/guides/does-vercel-support-yarn-2

[LeeLenaleee]

They don't have the warning because they don't use pnpm then, instead they use yarn, npm or something else.

Apart from the warning it should work fine. As seen in my comment i linked yarn marked it as a no fix for V1 so you will have to keep the warning or update to yarn 2

[leoplct]

Upgrading Yarn solved it for me.

yarn set version stable
yarn install

Issue is fixed in #11209
