Error: Cannot find module './util/resolveCommand' - node.js

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?

Answer 1

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.

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
