coc-tsserver: Can not find tsserver error on 1.3.8

It appears that the 1.3.8 release has broken coc-tsserver for me: The output of :CocInfo on 1.3.8:

## versions

vim version: NVIM v0.3.5
node version: v12.2.0
coc.nvim version: 0.0.71-4ee27ce232
term: screen-256color
platform: linux

## Messages
[coc.nvim] Bundled typescript module not found
[coc.nvim] Can not find tsserver, run ':CocInstall coc-tsserver' to fix it!

This happens when I open a JS file using nvim test.js I have tried to do :CocInstall coc-tsserver to no avail. Using vim-plug also does not solve the problem:

Plug 'neoclide/coc-tsserver', {'tag': '1.3.8', 'do': 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'}

On downgrade to 1.3.7 using vim-plug the error does not appear and the extension works flawlessly:

Plug 'neoclide/coc-tsserver', {'tag': '1.3.7', 'do': 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'}

hi @steelx , I had same error (with coc-sh), it was the installer Uninstall node from snap sudo snap remove node and install it through apt-get (or .tar,… official link) sudo apt-get install nodejs

With snap and :CocInstall {whatever} the coc.nvim installer reports: Using npm from: /snap/bin/npm While with apt-get and :CocInstall {whatever}: Using npm from: /usr/local/bin/yarnpkg Or if apt-get installed npm sudo apt install npm then it shows Using npm from: /usr/bin/npm

Log shows it got errors when installing typescript, and after I googled some pages, I fixed the problem by cleaned the npm cache. If you guys encounter same problem maybe have a try:

npm cache clean --force

Cleaning cache fixed the issue
