Your First Sui dApp - error[E02004] when building the package

Technical Support
1

Hi there,
I’m new to Sui and I’m getting my feet wet with some basic tutorials.

Some info:

  • version: sui 1.27.0-e5f080922d56-dirty
  • I’m using testnet
  • Windows

I followed the following tutorial: /guides/developer/first-app but I’m running into some issues when building the package.

I get the following error:

sui move build
FETCHING GIT DEPENDENCY https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git
INCLUDING DEPENDENCY Sui
INCLUDING DEPENDENCY MoveStdlib
BUILDING my_first_package
error[E02004]: invalid 'module' declaration

Failed to build Move modules: Compilation error.

The tutorial mentions:

If the build fails, you can use the verbose error messaging in output to troubleshoot and resolve root issues.

However, I can’t seem to figure out how to do that :slight_smile:

Please mind I’m just an amateur :wink:
I looked over here on the forum but couldn’t find anything related.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’m having the same error.

Its like “hello, world” official tutorial (“Your first SUI dAPP”) , and is expected to work.

Version: sui 1.29.2-homebrew
Platform : Mac OS 17

Issue went away , after I uninstalled and installed ui.
“sui move build” worked.

I also encountered the same error. Here is what I did to resolve. It was on version 1.29 which got upgraded to 1.30. You have to update SUI using the following command:

cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git --branch testnet sui

This will take approximately 20-30 minutes to upgrade. 
Check the sui version after installation - it will be  sui 1.30.3-d355d9f2f8ef.
Check for which sui. This path should be there in the $PATH variable. 

Now run sui move build

If you are running Windows / Linux / MacOS x86_64 or MacOS ARM, just download the binaries Releases · MystenLabs/sui · GitHub instead of building from source.
