Ionic-capacitor v3.1.2 unknown option ‘–npm-client’

Capacitor
1

I get the error message error: unknown option ‘–npm-client’
when I try to run the following command ionic capacitor run ios.
I think that I use the latest version of Ionic
Can you help me here. Thanks a lot

just update @ionic/cli to the latest version available (6.17.0 at the moment)

Although I don’t want to get in the way of @jcesarmobile’s excellent advice, I think it’s worth mentioning again that if you don’t want to be constantly running the risk of banging into incompatibilities, always stick to using LTS node versions.

Yeah, that’s a good advice too, I’m using version 15 and a lot of commands “yell” at me for using an uneven version.

In this case the problem is that capacitor 3 removed the -npm-client param and old versions of ionic/cli passed it, so need to update the CLI version so it doesn’t pass the param anymore
