Can not generate Web Part Project with yo

Question

I am following this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/set-up-your-development-environment?source=docs

But when I run yo @microsoft/sharepoint

This is what I get:

 _-----_

|       |    .--------------------------.

|--(o)--|    |      Welcome to the      |

`---------´ | SharePoint Client-side |

( _´U`_ )    |    Solution Generator    |

/___A___\    '--------------------------'

 |  ~  |

'._.'__

´ |° ´ Y

Error: generator.run is not a function

Error @microsoft/sharepoint

generator.run is not a function

I tried different version of node npm and yo including 4.3.1 which was recommended.

I also have already set up plenty of other web parts with no problem. I cannot explain this happening now!

Answer 1

Hi @Sivilla, John,

What's your version of Node.js? Please check by the command node --version. Here is a list of yo releases with environments they support and requires NodeJS runtimes.

I am using the latest versions: npm ls -g --depth=0

C:\nvm4w\nodejs -> .\

├── @microsoft/generator-sharepoint@1.20.0

├── corepack@0.30.0

├── gulp-cli@3.0.0

├── npm@11.1.0

├── yeoman-environment@4.4.3

├── yeoman-generator@7.5.0

└── yo@5.1.

node -v

v20.18.3

P.S. I have tried different versions with no avail.

I still get the same error!
