SN CLI Generate UI Component cannot find file or directory '.snc/.extensions/ui-component/node_modules/@servicenow/generator-ui-component/lib/generators'

Issue:

I am attempting to make a custom component for the UI Builder. I am following this creatercon course or even this blog post to install the ui-component plugin. I am getting this error when I go to create a new component. It is almost as if the versions are off and are looking for a file in the wrong place.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Command:

snc ui-component project --name @prefix/component-name --description 'Description' --scope x_prefix_scope_name

(Obviously I renamed some of the values in the command. The command is not the issue)

I think I found a workaround for this:

When creating the project the I got the following errors:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '[my user profile]\.snc\.extensions\ui-component\node_modules\@servicenow\generator-ui-component\lib\generators'

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '[my user profile]\.snc\.extensions\ui-component\node_modules\@servicenow\generator-ui\lib\generators'

I looked in to the 2 folders and found out that the generators folder is directly in the generatoru-ui-component and gereator-ui folders so I just created a lib folder and copied the generators folder i it.

After that the project gets created without any issues.

I hope this will work for you as well.
