I am unable to setup SPFx Development Environment for my SharePoint Online. I installed 10.24 and 10.20 version of Nodejs then also installed gulp and yeoman. But when I execute yo @microsoft/sharepoint command, the nodejs command prompt throws error as shown in below picture. I tried multiple times to uninstall and reinstall 10.x versions of nodejs but the error is same. I am not able to find any information about this error on google.

TypeError: lookup.flatMap is not a function

This is the issue related to yeoman. You can fix this issue by downgrading it from 4.0.0 to 3.1.1

npm install [email protected] -g

This combination does not work

    Thanks a ton Denis. Your solution worked perfectly. The issue was related to yeoman version.

I am assuming that you have installed only one version of nodejs at a time. For SPFx generator SharePoint online you will require v10.24.0 of nodejs.

Open command prompt and run following command in CMD to check global version of package

npm list -g --depth=0

Ideally it should display following following version

+-- @microsoft/generator-[email protected]

+-- [email protected]

+-- [email protected]

-- [email protected]

If you have multiple version of nodejs without using nvm then it will not work.

For more details you can refer the this Microsoft docs.

  • Yes @Rajat Sahani, one can only install one version of npm at a time. I had installed 10.20 and 10.24 nodejs version at one time. I have npm installed and its upto the lastest version.
