Ng serve doesn't work, no errors or messages to show what's the issue

Question

After a recent update to MacOS Sonoma, ng serve stopped working. I can run ng version, and it will show the version, but when I try ng serve in my project it does nothing. The cursor in the terminal just keeps blinking like it's trying to process the command.

In accordance with this Q + A on stackoverflow, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Angular CLI globally. Still no luck. I also tried using npm start, which also didn't work.

Here is the angular.json file for my project if that helps clarify things any.

As said in comment, removing all cache worked:

rm -rf node_modules .angular

Reinstall dependencies and that's it.
