Is there something wrong with my tauri.confi.json structure?

[FrancisKateva]

I am pretty new to all this but even with help from someone more experienced I can't seem to get past this error. I feel like it might be a structure problem but not a hundred percent sure. The error shows as this:

Error `tauri.conf.json` error on `app`: Additional properties are not allowed ('bundle' was unexpected)
Error `tauri.conf.json` error: Additional properties are not allowed ('package' was unexpected)

And sometimes we have seen this one but it isn't showing up right now.

Error `tauri.conf.json` error on `build`: Additional properties are not allowed ('devPath', 'distDir' were unexpected)
Error `tauri.conf.json` error: Additional properties are not allowed ('package', 'tauri' were unexpected)

Here is what my tauri.conf.json looks like in my project.

{
  "$schema": "../node_modules/@tauri-apps/cli/schema.json",
  "package": {
    "productName": "my-island-layouts",
    "version": "0.1.0"
  },
  "build": {
    "beforeDevCommand": "npm run dev",
    "beforeBuildCommand": "npm run build",
    "frontendDist": "../dist",
    "devUrl": "http://localhost:1420"
  },
  "app": {
    "windows": [
      {
        "fullscreen": false,
        "height": 720,
        "resizable": true,
        "title": "My Island Layouts",
        "width": 1280
      }
    ],
    "security": {
      "csp": null
    },
    "bundle": {
      "active": true,
      "targets": "all",
      "identifier": "com.myisland.layouts",
      "icon": [
        "icons/32x32.png",
        "icons/128x128.png",
        "icons/128x128@2x.png",
        "icons/icon.icns",
        "icons/icon.ico"
      ]
    }
  },
  "plugins": {
    "dialog": {},
    "fs": {
      "scope": ["$HOME/**"]
    },
    "shell": {}
  }

> }

Any help or advice you can give would be much appreciated!

This is a bit concerning 😅

what's the output of tauri --version (if you use npm it needs an extra -- like npm run tauri -- --version ) in your broken project? config structure issues are typically due to tauri v1 and v2 being mixed up.

[FrancisKateva]

Running the given command I get the output of:

C:\Users\***\project folder>npm run tauri -- --version

> my-island-layouts@0.1.0 tauri
> tauri --version

tauri-cli 2.0.0-beta.20

[FabianLars]

yeah, that's way too old for the config you're trying to use. If the rest of your tauri deps are up to date, a simple npm i -D @tauri-apps/cli@latest should be enough. If your project is from v2-beta or even v1 you may wanna look at one of these guides https://v2.tauri.app/start/migrate/ (or start from fresh if your project is relatively small)

I will close this since the issue has been identified but feel free to keep commenting here. We'll keep trying to help you.
