ionic-cli: Error: Cannot find module '@angular-devkit/build-angular/src/angular-cli-files/models/webpack-configs/utils'

Description:

I was trying to start a new ionic project. As my standard procedure, I tried to build an apk before starting to write the business logic, the build failed at ng.cmd run app:ionic-cordova-build:production --platform=android.

Steps to Reproduce:

Step 1: Open powershell in vs code. Step 2: npm install -g @angular/cli @ionic/cli Step 3: cd {location-to-project-parent-directory} Step 4: ionic start (Completed with Angular -> blank template -> not installed capacitor) Step 5: cd {location-to-project-directory} Step 6: Showed 1 vulnerability . So executed npm audit fix as per the instruction on the powershell window. Step 7: ionic cordova build android --prod

Output:

Error: Cannot find module ‘@angular-devkit/build-angular/src/angular-cli-files/models/webpack-configs/utils’
