An unhandled exception occurred: Invalid or unexpected token

Question

I keep getting the following error after i run ng serve:

An unhandled exception occurred: Invalid or unexpected token
See "\mypc_path\AppData\Local\Temp\ng-Aij37E\angular-errors.log" for further details.

This is what's inside angular-errors.log:

[error] \myproject_path\node_modules\postcss-selector-parser\dist\selectors\combinator.js:1

I tried many things suggested online like:

• Switching from yarn to npm (and back);
• Deleting my current node_modules folder and running again npm i and yarn (not together, one by one);
• Tried updating Node.js, NPM and Yarn;

I made an angular project from scratch, there are few libraries. The ones I installed are ngx-bootstrap-icons and @angular/fire

Any suggestion that can help?

Edit

Forgot to mention that I also tried to uninstall ngx-bootstrap-icons library. I still get the same error.

Edit 2

I was digging around the issue and I noticed this inside node_modules/postcss-selector-parser/dist/selectors/combinator.js:

That's too weird for me guys.

Answer 1

The old "delete node_modules and re-run npm i" trick worked for me.
