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

[Daniel Cudney1]

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)

Error:

File Location:

SN CLI Version:

Python, Node, & NPM Version:

Python 2.7.18

OS Version:

[Shasank]

Looks like there are some stale entries from previous installations.

Solution:

Uninstall and install ui-component extension of snc

// Remove ui-component

snc extension remove

Extension name: ui-component

// Add ui-component

snc extension add

Extension name: ui-component

This worked for me too. However its absolutely unbelievable that this workaround is needed for a fresh install of the CLI.
