Hi, I am getting an error while running the command “npm run dev”.
I followed all the steps before running the command.
error:

Very strange. No idea why it should display that error for you. When I Google for it I find this:

Maybe that helps.

@Kshitij_Bharde, place the env directive before VUE_APP_URL_BASE_API in package.json file. Example:

{
    ...
    "scripts": {
       "serve": "env VUE_APP_URL_BASE_API=http://localhost:5678/ vue-cli-service serve",
    }
    ...
}

I can’t say why, but it only happens on Windows.
