Impossible to upgrade JHipster, Impossible to run it

[shai-almog]

Running

jhipster  --blueprints nodejs

I see

  JHipster update available: 7.2.0 (current: 7.0.1)

So naturally I did:

npm --force install -g generator-jhipster

And it worked a lot on installing but jhipster remained the same (Using Mac OS Big Sur on Intel). Uninstalled it, reinstalled. Reinstalled via brew etc. It all results in the same odd old version.

Unfortunately this gets worse. After finishing the wizard no matter what I do I get the following exception (at the end of the full output below):

I assumed this was because of my Mac setup so I went through the whole process on a Linux machine only to run into the same issue...

Ugh:

jhipster -V
INFO! Using JHipster version installed globally
7.2.0

I'm at a loss on this one.

Thanks for the issue, but the upgrade of jhipster is not related to this node.js blueprint.
