I'm new to Remix Stacks, so not sure if this is known or not, figured I'd Open an Issue first.

I'm guessing it's an outdated architect and/or incompatibility with dynamodb

[valbaca]

Same issue when running with npx.

macOS, node v22.9.0

[quantuminformation]

del node mods, and lock file, re install ?

[elliotfleming]

I have this exact issue on a new project (using npx). Not sure where to go from here...

Is this still an active project? Are others NOT getting these errors on new installs? This repo is referenced as an official stack on the remix website so I presumed it would just work out of the box but I never got past the first command: npx create-remix@latest --template remix-run/grunge-stack. The same things happens if you run npm run dev.

Removing /node-modules and /package-lock.json and reinstalling npm install does not solve the issue.

I'm using node v22.8.0

The repo hasn't been updated in a while, there is an open vite pr too that has been sitting around for months. I would prob start with SST instead

I read the migration from architecture 10 to 11 and included a couple of new devDependencies needed

"@aws-sdk/client-apigatewaymanagementapi": "^3.713.0", "@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb": "^3.713.0", "@aws-sdk/client-s3": "^3.713.0", "@aws-sdk/client-sns": "^3.713.0", "@aws-sdk/client-sqs": "^3.713.0", "@aws-sdk/client-ssm": "^3.713.0", "@aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb": "^3.713.0",

and the browserPolyfill config in the remix.config file

browserNodeBuiltinsPolyfill: { modules: { querystring: true } },

As of now, i run npm run dev after following previous instructions from readme file, and it worked.
Hope it helps
