'npx create-react-app [name] --template typescript' error

Question

This (https://imgur.com/a/m071dgX) is the error I get. Literally a few minutes ago I was able to create projects with "npx create-react-app [NAME] --template typescript" ... now I get this error. I've tried updating node.js, removing the node_modules folder, and other things but nothing's working. I'm a new developer so I try not to ask too many questions but this is really frustrating.

Answer 1

So this might not be a true fix, but rather a workaround:

In your created app folder, open package.json file.

Change react-scripts and typescript versions, to:

"react-scripts": "3.4.4",
"typescript": "^3.2.1",

Next, remove package.lock.json, yarn.lock, node_modules and tsconfig.json. Run $ npm install and then $ npm start should work normally.

Note that here we are using an older version of react-scripts.

Answer 2

I came across this and for me running the command with yarn worked but the command with npx did not. Might be worth trying.
