Yesterday it was working fine, today i get this message.

The system cannot find the file specified.

I have reinstalled  CLI, NVM and Node.

Im running version

NPM 8.5.5

Node 22.21.1

as shown in docs, however im running Windows 11, but this has not been a problem in the past..

I can connect profile 

Connection to https://*****dev.service-now.com successful.
Metadata retrieved successfuly from https://*****dev.service-now.com
Profile default has been saved

When i run

 snc extension add --name ui-component

i get

Extension ui-component installed successfully

 I have removed and updated

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> snc extension update --name ui-component
Extension ui-component already upto date

But i still get this.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> snc ui-component --help
The system cannot find the file specified.

PS C:\Users\*****\Desktop\Folder> snc ui-component project --name @myorg/movie-quotes --description 'A web component that prints movie quotes.'
The system cannot find the file specified.

PS C:\Users\****\Desktop\Folder\Project> snc ui-component develop

Do anybody have a fix to this issue?

After hours of reinstalling and debugging, I discovered the issue: my newly generated ServiceNow password contained special characters "!{_<;". I suspect the semicolon (;) was causing the command to break. I regenerated a new password without "{, <", or ";" and now everything is working.

Fantastic...
