Errors with Node.JS. Unable to create the esp32 projects (both Win / Ubuntu)

[mightylastingcode]

I need some help. I have a problem using your Node JS app today (both Window 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS). It cannot create the project. In the project folder, there is no file. I did not have any issue last Friday on Window 10. Thank you for any help or comment you can provide.

Best regards, Michael

Windows 10

I have a similar issue on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS:

These are my node and npm versions:

kristof@kristof-ubuntu:~/esp$ node --version
v12.14.1
kristof@kristof-ubuntu:~/esp$ npm --version
6.13.4

Please help, because I would really love to continue the course. Now I'm pretty much stuck.
