When installed using
npm install -g @serialport/terminal
aka globally on Windows 11, it is unable to find the path needed to read the version inpackage.json
.readFileSync()
when ran as a globally installed package, it is unable to find the current working directory as it considers current terminal directory as base. So../package.json
is being read asC:\Users\package.json
, which does not exist, when it is supposed to read relative to its current folder aka hereC:\Users\callum\AppData\Local\nvm\v22.17.1\node_modules\@serialport\list\package.json
.The fix is to use a path resolution resolver that works globally, while following ES Modules.
