Hey guys, I’m having trouble with my dev setup. When I try to run ‘npm run dev’, I get a weird message saying the ‘hydrogen dev’ command isn’t found. It’s asking if I meant ‘kitchen-sink prompts’ instead.
Here’s what the terminal shows:
? Command `hydrogen dev` not found. Did you mean `kitchen-sink prompts`?
> (y) Yes, confirm
(n) No, cancel
Press ↑↓ arrows to select, enter or a shortcut to confirm.
I’ve already checked that Node and npm are up to date. I even tried opening a new terminal and deleting and rebuilding the storefront, but no luck. Any ideas what could be causing this? I’m totally stuck!
hey man, sounds like a weird issue. have u tried clearing ur npm cache? sometimes that helps with funky command problems. also, double-check ur package.json to make sure the ‘dev’ script is defined correctly. if all else fails, maybe try reinstalling the hydrogen CLI globally. good luck!
I encountered a similar issue recently. The problem might be with your project’s dependencies or configuration. First, ensure you’re in the correct project directory. Then, try running ‘npm install’ to reinstall all dependencies. If that doesn’t work, check your project’s ‘package.json’ file. The ‘scripts’ section should have a ‘dev’ command that includes ‘hydrogen dev’. If it’s missing or incorrect, that could explain the error. Lastly, consider updating or reinstalling the Hydrogen CLI globally using ‘npm install -g @shopify/hydrogen-cli’. These steps should help resolve the command recognition issue.
I’ve run into this exact problem before, and it was a real headache. Turns out, the issue was with my project structure. Make sure you’re running the command from the root directory of your Hydrogen project. If that’s not it, check your PATH environment variable - sometimes npm global installs don’t get added correctly. Another thing to try is running ‘npx @shopify/hydrogen-cli dev’ instead of ‘npm run dev’. This bypasses any local installation issues. If none of that works, you might need to dig into your node_modules folder and see if the Hydrogen CLI is actually installed properly. It’s a pain, but sometimes manually deleting and reinstalling it can fix weird issues like this.
