Facing error while building and watching CAP project.

[AvaneeshPEOL]

I am getting the following error while executing an mta.yaml build or while executing "cds watch" command.

I am not entirely sure what is to be done for this.

user: xsuaa-user-test $ cds watch --profile hybrid
node:events:496
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Hi Experts,

We are also facing the same error since few hours now. It was working fine 5 hours before.

It's been updated now, it works.

Please note the following.

I deleted the gen and node_modules folders, and then executed 'npm update' command, after which i could build and deploy the project.
