Error: The package "esbuild-linux-64" could not be found, and is needed by esbuild #1646

[zeromancer]

Describe the bug

Installation Error on yarn install

Error happens with npm as well, but only throws on npm run dev

I opened a Bug Report within ESbuild as well
evanw/esbuild#1646

But after some thought,
it seems to be a vitejs error,
because I can install esbuild separately (with either npm or yarn) without any errors.

Global Installation of (yarn global, or npm -g) esbuild is not recognized.
Logs of successful global esbuild installation

If you are installing esbuild with npm, make sure that you don't specify the
"--no-optional" flag. The "optionalDependencies" package.json feature is used
by esbuild to install the correct binary executable for your current platform.

seems to happen with windows as well
The package "esbuild-windows-64" could not be found

[ilkka]

Just hit this too in our CI, and for anyone who wants a quick-but-real-dirty workaround, replacing your npm install with npm install esbuild works because then the optional dependecy to esbuild-* gets satisfied.

[ddahan]

As a quick "workaround", I reverted to the 2.5.* version.

Could you try the suggestion from @Niputi? #5203 (comment)

https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/releases/tag/v0.13.4

[zeromancer]

I tried it with yarn add -D [email protected]
and it works!
@Shinigami92 thanks for the workaround!
