Bun Create seems broken

[willisplummer]

What version of Bun is running?

0.8.1+16b4bf341acc0f4804f0b6bdf5298c180cd00366

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 22.3.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I just followed elysia getting started:

curl https://bun.sh/install | bash
bun create elysia hi-elysia

What is the expected behavior?

I'd expect bun create with no other input to show me something like..

And with elysia template I thought it would create a dir and do all the installs

What do you see instead?

> bun create
Fetching manifest... ^C
> bun create
Fetching manifest...
^C
> bun create elysia ./elysia-test
Fetching package.json...

bun create is not like npm create:

• bun create to be compatible with npm create #485

You can use bun x create-elysia hi-elysia to do what you want for now.

[birkskyum]

If this examples folder deserves a reserved keyword, maybe it could be bun example or bun generate instead, so that bun create can be compatible with npm create?

• Progress for Next.js  #4468

this might still be a bug in bun if it doesnt handle connection refused here properly. probably should keep open in case.

not sure, but will take a look at this in a few days after 1.0

(elysia still uses old bun create code)

I'm not sure I follow, but I think it's probably worth trying to preserve the bun create react syntax as it's already all over the internet if you search how to create a react project in bun.

e.g.

https://dev.to/ashirbadgudu/create-a-react-app-with-bun-125o

the internal documentation also appears to suggest this is how it works:

https://bun.sh/docs/templates#from-npm

edit: I think issue #4561 more accurately describes what I'm running into -- bun install on an existing project is also so slow that it looks like it's stalled out. Feel free to close this!

edit2: I tried with 1.0 and I'm getting the same behavior

Apologies for the confusion

TLDR: bun create react is not longer a valid command. We recommend using bun create vite or bun create react-app instead.

Previously, bun create used an internal list of sample projects that we maintained. We've since switched it to match npm and others, so bun create <template> equivalent to running bunx create-<template>. Since there's no create-react package on npm, the command fails.

If you run npm create react or yarn create react you'll see the same error.

No longer valid

$ bun create react

Use this instead

$ bun create vite
$ bun create react-app

I am currently running the latest version of Bun, which is 1.0.2, but I still encounter the same problem. The issue on GitHub is closed, but I cannot find a clear solution. Is this issue supposed to be fixed in future versions of Bun?

I am in Manjaro latest version.

Here's an example using wagmi's installation instructions:

bun

bun create wagmi
error: could not determine executable to run for package create-wagmi

bunx

bunx create-wagmi                                                                                                                                                                                       
error: could not determine executable to run for package create-wagmi

npm

npm create wagmi@latest
