This generator (@microsoft/sharepoint:app) requires yeoman-environment at least 3.0.0, current version is 2.10.3

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to use yo @microsoft/sharepoint

Error @microsoft/sharepoint

This generator (@microsoft/sharepoint:app) requires yeoman-environment at least 3.0.0, current version is 2.10.3, try reinstalling latest version of 'yo' or use '--ignore-version-check' option

I have reinstalled the lastest version and can see that the current and wanted version matches when I use the command npm -g outdated.

Answer 1

I've got the same error, but in fact it seemed it came from the version of the generator-sharepoint that was not compatible.

try this :

npm uninstall -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint

then install a previous version :

npm install -g @microsoft/[email protected]

I put here the version I have to be able to create spfx solution (because I had a looot of trouble finding stuff that work together) :

Yo --version > 3.1.1

node -v > 10.24.0 (avoid 12 at all cost)

tsc -v > 4.0.5

note : to check your version of generator :

npm ls -g --depth=0 @microsoft/generator-sharepoint

Hope it will help

Answer 2

Looks like your yeoman package is outdated. Try the following command to get the latest version:

npm install [email protected] -g

Update

As of today, yeoman v4 is not compatible with the SPFx generator. this is why we install v3.

Answer 3

check your version list---

• npm ls -g --depth=0

try this :

1. npm uninstall -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint

then install a previous version :

2. npm install -g @microsoft/[email protected]
