Same issue on Windows 10. Tried to uninstall and install older version (like 8.1.4, same issue though)

Same issue on Ubuntu 21.10

Tried on NodeJS v14.17.4 and v17.3.0

This is a problem with the color.js package

Marak/colors.js#285

Is there a solution for this that anyone has found?

Well... you can always fix the version in your package-lock file to the last stable.
This is a protest. Nest shouldn't be depending on this package anymore I think... When is Nest (and others depending on this) going to change this? don't know xD

[ElvisKnapman]

same issue within the last hour or so

• Windows 11
• NestJS v8.0.0
• Node.js v16.13.1

@pamelaschuldiner Nest has colors dependency through cli-table3 which has pinned colors version already and going to phase it out completely in favor of chalk. This package will be fixed when #1478 merged and released.

Beautiful then! Thanks!

Thus there's nothing we can do (neither on @nestjs/cli source) besides waiting for the next release of @nestjs/cli which depends on the next release of cli-table3.

@micalevisk it can be hotfixed unless real fixes go through the pipeline, ie aws/aws-cdk#18324 (comment)
