I am getting this error when trying to do stencil init. Potentially unhandled rejection [6] TypeError: Error loading "js/bundle" at file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js Error evaluating file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js Cannot read property 'createElement' of undefined at i (file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:1:17836) at file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:2:2295 at file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:2:2989 at t (file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:1:3612) at file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:1:3617 at file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:3:24280 at file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:1:3260 at file:/Users/MyUser/Documents/CentricSites/BigCommerce/Capacity/assets/js/bundle.js:1:3343 at Object.exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:54:17) at doEval (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:2400:10) at __eval (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:2317:7) at Loader.exec [as __exec] (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:339:5) at Loader.loader.instantiate (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:802:14) at Loader.loader.instantiate (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:1135:30) at Loader.loader.instantiate (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:1234:30) at Loader.loader.instantiate (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:1534:30) at Loader.loader.instantiate (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js:1842:32) at Loader.loader.instantiate (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/systemjs-builder/compilers/amd.js:354:36) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/es6-module-loader/dist/es6-module-loader.src.js:1545:33 at tryCatchReject (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/es6-module-loader/dist/es6-module-loader.src.js:1183:30) at runContinuation1 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/es6-module-loader/dist/es6-module-loader.src.js:1142:4) at Fulfilled.when (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/es6-module-loader/dist/es6-module-loader.src.js:930:4) at Pending.run (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/es6-module-loader/dist/es6-module-loader.src.js:821:13) at Scheduler._drain (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/es6-module-loader/dist/es6-module-loader.src.js:97:19) at Scheduler.drain (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@bigcommerce/stencil-cli/node_modules/es6-module-loader/dist/es6-module-loader.src.js:62:9) at nextTickCallbackWith0Args (node.js:452:9) at process._tickCallback (node.js:381:13)

I am not even sure what I am looking for.

Any luck? I have the same problem - Omar
Not yet. I keep hoping that someone from BigCommerce will answer. - Tigerlady
Do you have frontend console errors? Are you using a template? 404 ERROR: http://localhost:3000/stencil/theme/3/js/dependency-bundle.js - Omar
Omar, I am unable to even past the init phase to view the them locally. When I run the init this is when I get the error. - Tigerlady
I should have a solution soon... But try stencil start ... It has not stopped me from theme dev until i have time to troubleshoot - Omar

I kept running into the same issue. What ended up working for me was downloading a fresh zip file of the theme, running npm install, jspm install, then deleting the assets/js/bundle.js file before running stencil init.

  1. take out node_modules and jspm packages then reinstall them in the correct order (from root directory) rm -rf node_modules/ && rm -rf assets/jspm_packages/ && npm install && jspm install

  2. Run stencil init and finish the wizard with your info... You will still get errors (step 3 will fix it)

  3. Now remove bundle.js and then stencil init again rm assets/js/bundle.js && stencil init

You should not see any errors this time after finishing the stencil init. Procceed as usual — stencil start & see frontend on http://localhost:3000/
