I’m struggling with an Angular app build issue in VSCode. When I run npm run build --configuration production, I get a bunch of errors. I’ve also tried npm run build -- --c production but no luck.
The error messages mention npm not supporting my Node.js version (v16.16.0) and suggest upgrading. It also says it can’t find the @angular/cli module.
Here’s a simplified version of what I’m seeing:
> [email protected] build
> ng build --prod
Error: Cannot find module '@angular/cli/bin/ng'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15)
at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader:778:27)
at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
at internal/main/run_main_module:17:47
I’m new to npm build commands. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!
I’ve run into similar issues before, and it can be frustrating. One thing that helped me was making sure my global and local Angular CLI versions matched. Try running ‘ng version’ in your project directory and compare it with the global version (run ‘ng version’ outside your project folder).
If they’re different, you might want to uninstall the global Angular CLI (npm uninstall -g @angular/cli) and then reinstall it with the version that matches your project (npm install -g @angular/[email protected], where X.X.X is your project’s version).
Also, double-check your package.json file to ensure all Angular-related dependencies are listed correctly. Sometimes, manually adding @angular/cli to your devDependencies and running npm install can resolve the ‘module not found’ error.
Lastly, consider upgrading Node.js as suggested. I’ve found that using the latest LTS version often prevents compatibility issues with npm and Angular.
Have you checked your project’s package.json file? Sometimes the issue lies there. Make sure @angular/cli is listed in your devDependencies. If it’s not, add it manually and run npm install.
Also, try clearing your npm cache with ‘npm cache clean --force’ before reinstalling. This can often resolve mysterious build errors.
Another thing to consider is your Angular version. Ensure it’s compatible with your Node.js version. You might need to upgrade Angular or downgrade Node.js for compatibility.
Lastly, if all else fails, consider creating a new Angular project and gradually moving your code over. It’s a bit tedious, but it can help isolate the issue.
hey there! sounds like u might have a package issue. have u tried deleting the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file, then running npm install again? that sometimes fixes weird dependency probs. also, make sure ur @angular/cli is installed globally (npm install -g @angular/cli). good luck!
