medusa: Window is not defined (Storefront issue)

Hey there, I was trying to build a medusa app and I’m running into an issue on the storefront (generated from create-medusa-app):

eady - started server on 0.0.0.0:8000, url: http://localhost:8000

I generated the site with create-medusa-app (on node 16):

npx create-medusa-app
medusa-starter-default
Next.js Starter

Same issue with the gatsby-starter and medusa.express (next.js).

Any idea?

Thanks for reporting it everybody, and sorry for the inconvenience. The issue has been fixed and merged and should be released on Wednesday at the latest as @medusajs/medusa-js@1.3.7 and medusa-react@4.0.2.

If this is blocking you right here and now, you can downgrade your version to @medusajs/medusa-js@1.3.5 and medusa-react@4.0.0, or use the snapshot version of the fixed packages that is available as @medusajs/medusa-js@1.3.7-snapshot-20230116155119 and medusa-react@4.0.2-snapshot-20230116155119.

When updating/downgrading your dependencies you may need to clear node modules and do a fresh yarn/npm install 😄

Will keep the issue open for visibility.

Same problem here.

I found a temporary workaround until the bug is fixed running this commands in the storefront directory:

yarn add @medusajs/medusa-js@1.3.7-snapshot-20230112194226

yarn add medusa-react@4.0.2-snapshot-20230112194226

The front was not usable at all The fix seems working for me #3016 (check my comment but I’m not sure about the snapshot to use)
