Error on deploy - Command failed: ...../serverless --version

Serverless Framework

this deploy works for other devs, but not for me.

Running sls deploy --stage dev

gives the following error:

Hi @pwhitfield-cashwerkz, I have the same issue. Did you eventually find a solution?

I wound up here with the same problem. Started poking around and it turned out I was using the wrong version of Node for my project. It expected 12.x and I was using 14.x.

It was using 12.x inside the project directory thanks to NVM, however unfortunately due to how Serverless works, it will invoke the global Node version. nvm use -g 12 fixed this for me, your mileage may vary depending on what version your project expects.
