@JoshWilliams92 -- this looks like a dup of #1782

[JoshWilliams92]

I have resolved the issue by globally installing the portfinder module and then npm installing it in my main project directory after generating a new project. I had this problem today also with the reflect-metadata module but repeated the same process as above.

Dupe of #1782.
