Ionic 6: unknown option '--npm-client'

I have a project with ionic 6 and capacitor, when I run ionic serve it work like a charm and I can see the project in my browser, but then when I run ionic capacitor build android I got this error:

error: unknown option '--npm-client'
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess capacitor.

I have tried to use this solution, but it didn't work.

It says to:

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm uninstall -g @ionic/cli
npm install -g @ionic/cli

but I still get the same error. Someone already got the same error before?

Thanks!

Uninstalling cli and installing latest cli did not work for me. The following steps worked:

1. ionic build
2. npm install @capacitor/android
3. npx cap init
4. npx cap add android

This issue is caused by older version of ionic-cli, you should upgrade the CLI version.

I had the same issue and had to upgrade from node 14 to node 16.15 to make it work.

I fix it updating to the last version with this, because the upgrade commands didn't work for me.

cd /tmp
wget https://registry.npmjs.org/@ionic/cli/-/cli-6.19.0.tgz
sudo npm -g install cli-6.19.0.tgz
