snc ui-component develop command throwing error.

[Kishore Pechett]

Hi,

I have written a basic custom component to display some HTML elements. I have created a servicenow cli profile, able to connect to the instance using snc,  npm install was successful.  I have below app versions in my local:

npm: '6.13.4'
Node.js v12.16.1
"ui-component": "21.0.7"
"snc": "1.1.0"

Now, When I run the command snc ui-component develop --entry ./element.js --open true --port 3001. I'm getting the following error.  I have tried upgrading or downgrading the app versions, tried installing keytar but it is still throwing error.

Can someone please help resolve this?

Once keytar is installed globally, please uninstall and install ui-component extension of snc. This would help ui-component pick the right keytar module.

// Remove ui-component

snc extension remove

Extension name: ui-component

// Add ui-component

snc extension add

Extension name: ui-component

Thank you so much Shasank, your solution worked for me.

Thank You @Shasank

After uninstalling the ui-component extension, it now fails to reinstall again.

$ snc extension add --name ui-component
NPM version 10.2.0 found, expected >= 6.13.4
Can't add extension ui-component. Please try again.

Any Ideas why? The Version 10.2.0 is definitely a later version than 6.13.4...

Hi Bj,
the current UI-component extension is not compatible with node versions greater than 14, I have tried with node version 14.21.3 and npm version 6.14.18, which worked fine can you try the same

I had this same error today, and your recommended versions worked for me too.  Do you know of any plans to update support for later versions of NodeJS & NPM?
