@tiepviet Your versions of node and npm are years old and no longer supported. Please update.

[jcrben]

@kenany close this like you did with #20999?

[kenany]

@jcrben I'm waiting for @zhanyong001's reply before closing, but this issue is indeed almost certainly caused by an extremely old npm installation. I'll give this a few more days and then close as abandoned if need be.

[jcrben]

@kenany there's a lot of discussion on how to address it at #20191

perhaps TROUBLESHOOTING.md could be updated with that advice?
