A few days ago, I installed Angular 20 (global) and tried working on a new project. For the new project i installed the latest LTS node version (22.17.0). Today i went back to an important old one and tried to continue working on it. It is currently written in Angular 18. I tried to build it, but it failed. I tried many things to get it to work again. After one hour I removed npm, nodejs, angular from my computer and I reinstalled Node 20.19.3 (npm 10.8.2) and Angular 18.2.13.
I created a new angular test project to check if it works: no ssr, with scss named test.
It still failed with the same error (when executing ng serve):
An unhandled exception occurred: Cannot find module './compile.js'

What can I try now? Thank you in advance!
The issue was created by an update of the css-select package roughly 6 hours ago. See the corresponding pull request and linked issues there for more information. The updated npm package 5.2.2 landed like 1 hour ago, and fixes the issue. So just update your packages.
