I had the same problem. same error message. I installed nest with yarn so I use command bellow to add(install) shematics:

yarn global add @nestjs/schematics

If you use npm use this

npm i -g @nestjs/schematics

Initially, I added NestJS cli with yarn and it gave the above error. The issue gets fixed as soon as I've installed NestJS cli with Npm after removing it from yarn.

I faced this issure recently and none of the suggested issues worked for me. I tried using npm to install @nestjs/cli and also tried to remove @nestjs/cli and reinstall using yarn global add @nestjs/schematics. Finally a hit and trial that did work for me to run the following command using only and only npm

npm i -g @nestjs/schematics

After this when I tried to create my project using nest new cli command, it worked like a charm. After that you're free to choose and use npm or yarn as per your convenience.

What worked for me was 2 lines of code -

yarn add @nestjs/schematics

nest new your-project-name

Solution 5:[5]

I got the same error when creating a new nestJS project with yarn. What worked for me is doing the following:

  1. Clean yarn cache yarn cache clean
  2. Remove nest cli yarn global remove @nestjs/cli
  3. Reinstall nest cli yarn global add @nestjs/cli
  4. Create new project nest new project-name
  5. Choose yarn when given an option to choose package manager

As @Abderrahmane TAHRI JOUTI mentioned I followed the link and the above solution worked for me.
