@jhonyourangel check your config/environments folder if there is one named --dev delete it

[ionutale]

there is none

also now i have this other error:
error TypeError: Cannot read property 'defaultConnection' of undefined

but i am not sure what went wrong here.
yesterday i had the same issue, and tried to add a mongodb connection since i don't have a sqlite on my windows pc.

i suspect that the strapi generator is not unpacking all the stuff or has some issues on windows

ps: i have tried to create a project on my personal computer, a mac, and worked at first try

[ionutale]

looks like the command
npm run develop returns error

Missing envrionnment config for env: --dev.
Make sure the directory ./config/environments/--dev exists

while npm run start

i have to say though that --dev looks pretty familiar as a environment property.

maybe there is a type somewhere, that i am unable to find while searching the project

shouldn't this
Make sure the directory **./config/environments/--dev** exists
be
Make sure the directory **./config/environments/development** exists

?

just run this in powershel
$env:NODE_ENV="development"

there is no default env that points to development.
hhmmm
