create-react-app starting error - Error: No valid exports main found for '\node_modules\colorette'

Viewed 17472

When installing create-react-app, I get this error when I start the development server (npm start):

./src/index.css (./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js??ref--6-oneOf-3-1!./node_modules/postcss-loader/src??postcss!./src/index.css)
Error: No valid exports main found for 'myproject\node_modules\colorette'

I've reinstalled create-react-app globally with create-react-app -g and tried running it with npx, but I still get this error. Is there anything else I can do?

Fixed this problem by upgrading node.js to v14.5, i've had v13.5 and v13.6 in my laptop. and also removing create-react-app globally:

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

and using:

npx create-react-app myapp

Node version 13 has an issue for ReactJs, please check your version. You can update or degrade(LTS version) your node version to work ReactJs properly

you need to upgrade node version to 14.5 or latest version with:

sudo n latest // on mac or linux for latest version

for windows just reinstall you node with latest version

Upgrade to version 14.5 will solve this issue.

For anyone using nvm,

you can use nvm install <version-number> to install any version.

In my case, I had v13.2.0 previously installed.

So, I checked all available versions with nvm ls-remote

And then picked the latest version to install like so:

nvm install v14.8.0

and as per @iamnabink comment - nvm use v14.8.0

This is because latest version of colorette doesn't supported on node Version < 14. Try below steps if you don't want to install node V14.5

To uninstall colorette: npm uninstall colorette

To install colorette version 1.2.0: npm install colorette@1.2.0

This fixed my issue.

Else you can simply upgrade the node version.

Fixed this problem by upgrading node.js to v14.5.0. After upgrading, I also had to delete my node_modules folder and rerun npm install.
