Error: Unable to deserialize cloned data due to invalid or unsupported version

I use parcel to deploy my web projects and on one occasion I got this error below while trying to deploy the page. I tried several solutions I saw online but none worked for me, I didn't even understand some.

Solution

  • What I did to resolve this was to delete the .cache, .parcel-cache, dist, and node_modules folders, then reinstall all lost packages with the command "npm install or npm i" and also build again with the command "npm run start" (or however you do it with parcel).
