now-cli errors out when trying to start local development server

[tim_chang87]

As the title states, I'm currently running into issues when I try to start a local development server in the now-cli. There are two parts to this. After I successfully create a project, I run npm install to install my dependencies. During this time I get the following error:

now-cli develop issues
When I try to run the develop command (now-cli develop), I get the following:

Running component locally...

throw err;

[builder:builder-core:end:37364] Task: run develop:trace, Error: Command failed: sh -c builder run develop:pre

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It appears that after my attempt to install dependencies, I am missing @servicenow/cli-component-archetype-dev/conf/develop/pre/run'  from my node modules. As a result, I get the above error message. Not sure what I'm missing here. Any help is appreciated.

Additional Info
Family version: Paris
Node version: v14.15.0
NPM version: 6.14.8
OS: Fedora Release 32

I have the same problem. Did you meanwhile found a solution? If so, please let me know.

[Community Alums]

I ran into the same problem and then found out that the Now CLI has been changed between Paris and Quebec and no longer uses now-cli commands. Here's the link to the Quebec information.

If anyone know the solution on this. Please share it. Me too facing this issue and getting crazy.

thanks in Advance.

What version of node.js do you have installed? now-cli needs version 12. It doesn't get along with newer versions.
