quasar command with npm run

[minyoung90]

quasar has a default command for "quasar build" as "npm run build"
what I want to do is to make command "npm run serve"

So, what I did was to set like below

// package.json
{
    "scripts": {
     // ....
        "build": "quasar build",
        "serve": "quasar serve ./dist/spa",
     },
}

command "quasar serve ./dist/spa" is fine when it is executed independently but, if i run "npm run serve" I got an error message below.

> quasar-ckeditor-webpack@0.0.1 serve
> quasar serve ./dist/spa

What is wrong? Please help me!

I have the same issue. 'serve' is provided by @quasar/cli whereas the other commands are provided by @quasar/app-webpack or @quasar/app-vite. You can also notice which packages get loaded by Quasar right under the Quasar ASCI art logo. And when running with npm, you can see that only @quasar/app-webpack gets loaded. Therefore it cannot find 'serve'. That said, I haven't found a solution for this yet... Did you @minyoung90 ?

Huh, I have the same "serve" is missing problem, as if the command is just not there. I'm able to serve the production build by using vite directly:

pnpm vite serve dist/spa/

The serve command is provided by the global CLI (@quasar/cli). So, you have two solutions:

1. Use global execution(npx, pnpm dlx, etc.): e.g. "serve": "npx @quasar/cli serve ./dist/spa",
2. Install @quasar/cli locally: e.g. npm i --save-dev @quasar/cli
   • If using pnpm, it resolves things a bit differently, so the package script need to be adjusted as well: "serve": "./node_modules/@quasar/cli/bin/quasar.js serve ./dist/spa",

@yusufkandemir Your first solution didn't work for me either:

npx quasar serve ./dist/spa

  Running @quasar/app-vite v1.6.2

Your second solution did work though. Thanks!

Oops, it was supposed to be npx @quasar/cli serve ./dist/spa, updated my message. But, I prefer and recommend the second solution.
