Unable to run realm-cli, returns node:internal/child_process

[Anton_Artemyev]

When I try to run realm-cli I get node:internal/child_process everytime, no matter what i do. I tried reinstalling, using different node version, previous mongodb-realm-cli version, same error. I’m on new Mac M1, using zsh and nvm

$ realm-cli whoami
node:internal/child_process:413
    throw errnoException(err, 'spawn');
    ^

Node.js v17.9.0

Hi Anton,

Thanks for posting your issue and welcome to the community!

I used zsh, nvm, and node v17.9.0 but was not able to reproduce this error on realm-cli v2.3.5.

Which realm-cli version are you using?

Also, could you try logging into a different Atlas project with realm-cli and see if it still happens?

Regards
Manny

Thank you for looking into this.
My issue was that i did a mac transfer from old mac to new M1 which broke few things for me. I had to redo setup from scratch and it worked. –
