Hey guys! When I run
sanity start
it keeps throwing me this error. Where am I doing wrong?

Whenever I get some error with sanity/base, I run sanity install and try again. Please try that and see if it works

Ahh I see, It kinda worked but it omitted an other error
sanity start
events.js:353
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Because you have another instance of Sanity studio running. Please close that, and run this once again. Hope that helps. Happy coding

Yeah fair enough. When I terminated the other one and when I run sanity start again it threw the same sanity/base error again now. I'm kinda breaking my head here. Just going in circles and circles smh -_-. I appreciate you helping me tho.

It seems like the errors are in your node_modules folder. Please try npm install as well (you can delete node_modules before installation if you'd like)
Jul 5, 2021, 11:08 AM
Yeah I did deleted node_modules and tried
npm install.
And then I ran sanity start in the sanity dierectory, still throwing me the same error

Hi
user T
! Is it still throwing the
EADDRINUSE
or
cannot resolve...
?
Jul 5, 2021, 2:49 PM

error

What does your
sanity.json
file look like?
Jul 5, 2021, 2:50 PM
This is usually resolved with removing node_modules and running
npm install
again
Jul 5, 2021, 2:51 PM
Tried removing node_modules as well
Jul 5, 2021, 2:52 PM
Still it's doens't work
Jul 5, 2021, 2:53 PM
I just don't understand what the complication is here
Jul 5, 2021, 2:53 PM
Which node version are you on?
node --version
Jul 5, 2021, 2:53 PM
v14.17.0
Jul 5, 2021, 2:54 PM
Hm. That is very weird, indeed. What do you have in your package.json?
Jul 5, 2021, 3:03 PM
Perhaps it is
Jul 5, 2021, 3:07 PM
Hi
user M
, I got rid of the files and tried
npm install
and
sanity install
. It kept throwing me the same error i.e
sanity/base

Could you share the dependencies in your studio root folder's
package.json
? So not the
blog-web
one.
Jul 5, 2021, 7:04 PM
There you go
Jul 5, 2021, 7:09 PM
I got it worked certainly !I was kind of skeptical about it, but it surprised me! When I got rid of
node_modules
,
package-lock.json
&
yarn.lock
then for some reason my node was uninstalled from my mac. So I had to install Node using
brew install node
in my terminal. And then I tried
npm install
in my project directory.And I also had to run the command ``npm install -g @sanity/cli` followed by commands
sanity install
&
sanity start
and it worked.I believe it was some kind of complication with Node. I don't know for sure tho just assuming.

Anyways I appreciate you guys helping me patiently!

I just faced similar issue, and I tried all the node related stuff. Actually the was caused by one of Sanity plugins. I had to reinstall the plugin and restart the server to get it working.

Happy to hear it!
