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.

PS C:\Users\kpechetti\Desktop\m365-snow-va-latest\m365supportintegration-snow> snc ui-component develop --entry ./element.js --open true --port 3001

Can someone please help resolve this?

you can actually use node 22 and npm 8.5.5
see https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/next-experience/yokohama/cli/getting-started

you have to downgrade the npm version. To install the ui components you have to downgrade npm to 8.5.5.

my setup:

• macos
• npm: '8.5.5',
  node: '22.1.0',
• still on washington

After installing the ui-component

snc version

{
"extensions": {
"ui-component": "27.4.5"
},
"snc": "1.1.2"
}

i upgraded again to newer npm 10.7.0 and i can still use snc with the commands like ui-component commands like develop and deploy (i actually would not recommend to upgrade npm again)
