Issues creating react app - cb.apply

[Infinitay]

I am having issues attempting to create a react application. I have tried the solutions listed under node.js's issue but to no avail.

Here is what happens when I attempt to create a react app:

PS C:\Users\infinity\Documents\Code\React> npx create-react-app my-react-app
npx: installed 67 in 4.548s

Creating a new React app in C:\Users\infinity\Documents\Code\React\my-react-app.

Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes.
Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts with cra-template...

npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

Aborting installation.
  npm install --save --save-exact --loglevel error react react-dom react-scripts cra-template has failed.

Deleting generated file... package.json
Deleting my-react-app/ from C:\Users\infinity\Documents\Code\React
Done.

Again, I have tried both solutions and I am still having this issue. I have tried both of the latest node.js versions (LTS and current) and still got this issue. Here is a look into the log file:

I wasn't having this issue a few weeks ago but am suddenly having it now. I can't remember what, if anything, that I have done to my node.js or npm for that matter to warrant this.

Solved

I followed the instructions given in https://stackoverflow.com/a/61708736/7835042 and my issues was resolved. More specifically, I did the following:

1. npm rm -g create-react-app
2. npm install create-react-app
3. npx create-react-app my-react-app

Although before hand I also tried shortening my environment variables too, and then re-installed node js (current 15.3.0). Although, this didn't fix my issue I'm pretty sure because until I ran those 2 commands above was I able to run npx create-react-app with no problem.

you're a godsend.
I don't know why i had this problem with nvm on 2 different systems and on gitpod even. i deleted npm and cache completely, reinstalled multiple times, nothing worked. yet reinstalling create-react-app with npm did the trick. thank you !
