Wrangler 3.60.3

What version of Node are you using?

22.10.0

Describe the Bug

Observed behavior

Creating a new project using typescript preset fails to install dependencies and fails with an "Error" with no error message. And it doesn't add the workers-types dependency.

Expected behavior

We should be able to create a new project without any issues.

Steps to reproduce

Run the following commands:

• npx wrangler init
• Select: hello world example > hello world worker > typescript

The installation fails with "Error" without enabling Warp or any proxy.

• Go to the newly created project
• Run npm install (succeeds)
• Run npm run dev (or node --run dev)

Fails with

Error: Cannot find module 'rollup-plugin-node-polyfills/polyfills/empty.js'

• Remove node_modules folder
• Run pnpm install
• Run node --run dev and it succeeds.

Please provide a link to a minimal reproduction

Wrangler 3.60.3

Is that right? (wrangler is now 3.87.0)

Also npx wrangler init is deprecated, you should use npx create-cloudflare@latest.

Can you try with an up to date version of wrangler?

Thanks!

npx create-cloudflare@latest still fails.

❯ npx create-cloudflare@latest
Need to install the following packages:
create-cloudflare@2.32.1

The newly created project still doesn't have @cloudflare/worker-types dependency, which is used inside tsconfig.json

@anonrig This is where your install error:

What I have on MacOS, with the same c3 version:

Any chance you have more logs?
If not, what happens if you:

cd test-worker
npm i
