npm ERR! could not determine executable to run when running npx cap sync


When I run npx cap sync, I get:

npm ERR! could not determine executable to run

Several questions have been asked about this error, but none is related to capacitor. I started getting the error today after installing 3 capacitor plugins.

Among the solutions I've researched online, none seems to work. I've done npm install, I've updated npm and node to their latest versions, some working solutions even suggest downgrading node, which I don't think is ideal. I've been stuck researching this.


Solution

  • The solution was simply to upgrade capacitor to its latest version

    npm install @capacitor/cli@latest @capacitor/core@latest
