Troubleshooting

Problem after installation (Windows OS):

I successfully installed Monaca CLI, but after executing command monaca login and writing my credentials, nothing happens or I get UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning:

$ monaca login
Use "monaca signup" command if you need to create a new account.

? Enter your email address: test@email.com
? Enter your password: ********

(node:12344) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property of 'hasOwnProperty' of undefined

Solution:

The problem might be in the installation of Node.js. If you installed Node.js through .msi installer on Node.js official website, we suggest you to use NVM for Windows to manage your Node.js versions instead.

  1. Uninstall Node.js from your computer. Refer to this manual.
  2. Install NVM for Windows.
  3. After installation, download a Node.js version 14.19.0 and set this version to be used:
    $ nvm install 14.19.0
    $ nvm use 14.19.0
    For more information about managing multiple Node.js versions, refer to this documentation.
  4. Install the Monaca CLI again.
  5. The login should be working now.
