    throw err;
    ^

How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

I had a same kind of issue before. I tried all the solutions even tried uninstalling and reinstalling node js. Finally, I tried by removing the node_modules from the user folder. Then, run npm install.

This worked for me.

Hope it works for you
