Unable to Execute npx Command

[arb]

When trying to use a pretty standard npx command, I'm getting file not found errors. I've tried reshim and resourcing my shell to no avail.

npx browserslist@latest --update-db

npm ERR! syscall lstat

Hi @arb 👋
Can you try updating asdf and asdf-nodejs?

asdf update
asdf plugin update nodejs

@arb npm isn't initialized, try running npm install -g npm@<your _version> this will generate the dot npm file.

@cajual I had the same issue and your solution worked for me! Thank you!

[augustobmoura]

asdf-nodejs is not supposed to use the .npm dir anymore, npm install shouldn't generate a dot npm directory unless we have a bug. This is why I asked that you guys update and test it again. Are you sure you were having this problem even on an updated plugin @juanestorres?

I had the same issue and after updating I was able to run npx commands succesfully, thanks @augustobmoura
