Installing typescript locally (npm install typescript) resolves the error. Unfortunately, this is not a typescript project.

@ljharb I think a new fixed version must be release asap because it will break all none-ts project new created

I have the same problem! how to resolve it ?

[ljharb]

@githoniel yes, that's quite obvious thanks :-) #1806 is waiting on tests.

Thanks for the fast fix!
Observed the same error with 2.21.0 and everything is working again with 2.21.1.
