FatalError: error TS6046: Argument for '–moduleResolution' option must be: 'node', 'classic', 'node16', 'nodenext'

I’m creating a next.js web application using typescript and tailwind CSS. I run yarn dev in my command line and I’m getting the following error:

FatalError: error TS6046: Argument for '--moduleResolution' option must be: 'node', 'classic', 'node16', 'nodenext'.

I tried to reinstall my packages and it still isn’t working.

>Solution :

The error message indicates that there’s an issue with the TypeScript configuration and specifically with the –moduleResolution option. The allowed values for –moduleResolution are ‘node’, ‘classic’, ‘node16’, and ‘nodenext’.

To resolve this issue, you can check and update your TypeScript configuration:

• Open your tsconfig.json file in the root of your project.
• Look for the compilerOptions section.
• Ensure that the moduleResolution option is set to one of the allowed values. For example:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // other options...
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    // other options...
  },
  // other configurations...
}

Make sure that "moduleResolution" is set to one of the valid options mentioned in the error message.

• Save the tsconfig.json file.

After updating the tsconfig.json file, try running your project again. If you still encounter issues, make sure there are no typos or syntax errors in your TypeScript configuration file.
