Not meaning to add another 'maximum call stack size exceeded' question, but I've tried probably every other suggestion on stackoverflow (I think).

Versions:

node v.14.19.0
npm v.6.14.16

Below is the log with the error.

I have tried

1. removing the node_modules folder and package-lock.json and running npm i.
2. removing the npm cache in AppData, doing #1, and then running npm i.
3. running npm cache clean, doing #1 and then running npm i. (probably the same thing as #2 tbh.)
4. installing a different version of node (14.17.0-> 14.19.0) and running npm i.
5. globally installing the missing module (tar-stream) and running npm i
6. checking environment variables- I have a path var = C:\Program Files\nodejs
7. checking permissions

Any suggestions? Please let me know if there's any additional info needed.

CodePudding user response：

I had this problem myself, its a new issue related to the nested dependencies in @nrwl/cli.
Add this to your package.json:

"optionalDependencies": {
   "@nrwl/cli": "13.7.1"
}
