New theme on PWA getMediaURL error

Question

I'm starting a new PWA project, so I'm 'extending' from venia theme this way:

yarn buildpack create-project 'testproject' --template venia-concept --backendUrl https://localtest.com --npmClient yarn --install true

According to Magento docs, that command will generate a new pwa project based on venia theme. Now, when I'm trying to run

yarn build run

I'm getting this error:

TypeError: Cannot destructure property `getMediaURL` of 'undefined' or 'null'.

This is the stack:

TypeError: Cannot destructure property `getMediaURL` of 'undefined' or 'null'.

I havent found an answer for that error yet. Anyone around who has been through the same?

Answer 1

Just got it working by doing this:

In my project root directory:

git clone https://github.com/magento/pwa-studio

then:

cd pwa-studio 
yarn install

And create the new project:

yarn create @magento/pwa        
? Project root directory (will be created if it does not exist) ../my_project
? Short name of the project to put in the package.json "name" field my_project
? Name of the author to put in the package.json "author" field author
? Magento instance to use as a backend (will be added to `.env` file) Other
? URL of a Magento instance to use as a backend (will be added to `.env` file) https://local.myproject.com
? NPM package management client to use yarn
? Install package dependencies with yarn after creating project Yes

Then just go to my_project directory and

yarn watch
