Error: Cannot find module './util/resolveCommand'

Question

I'm not able to npm start anymore due to a problem with the util npm I think. I tried to update all the packages and to remove util and re-install it. How could I solve this?

Sometimes you could get this error even if you have imported a package that is in tools package. I was getting for this logger package. const logger = require('./utils/logger'); — Achilleus, Aug 07 '19 at 15:31

As the error states, the problem is with the cross-spawn module, which is used by react-scripts. The issue is not because of util module.

Try the following to update the dependencies properly and see if it works.

npm install -g npm@latest # to update npm.
rm -rf node_modules # to remove the existing modules.
npm install # to re-install the project dependencies.

I used rm node_modules instead of rm -rf node_modules – R_K Jan 12 '23 at 18:00

You firstly need to

npm clean cache force and then go to your git bash if you are using windows and run
rm -rf node_modules and after removing the node_modules then run
npm install
