Last updated: Jan 18, 2023
Hiya! Just started my project and i have this error:Error: Command "dev" is not available outside of a Sanity project context.
Run the command again within a Sanity project directory, where "sanity"
is installed as a dependency.
at CommandRunner.runCommand (~/Documents/GitHub/regi-khan/studio/node_modules/@sanity/cli/lib/_chunks/cli-0bbdf4ec.js

Don't understand, it defintely has sanity as a dependency....

Are you running the command from the right directory?

Hi
user M
! Yes indeed. So weird. Just checked and this only happens with the projects where i have sanity v3. Does that make sense?

Maybe try deleting node modules and your package-lock then try reinstalling?
Jan 18, 2023, 9:34 PM
I did that before, but what actually solved it is that i created a new sanity studio project and after running that, the rest runned okay
Jan 18, 2023, 9:35 PM
