[Solved] error: no template named 'remove_cv_t' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'remove_cv'
Problem:
Getting error while installing yarn in a ruby on rails project. Here is the error -

Solution :
node-sass is not yet compatible with node v16. For this reason you have to downgrade node version to 14. To downgrade run -
nvm install 14
Now set the 14 version globally -
nvm alias default 14
Then your app need to configure with v14. To do this -
1. Go to your project directory and stop Rails server if it is running.
2. Open fresh new terminal and run "node --version". It should show 14.
3. Run - "spring stop"
4. Remove "yarn.lock" file
5. Remove existing node modules. Run - "rm -rf node_modules"
6. Run "node --version". It should show 14. If not then run - "nvm install 14"
7. Reinstall Yarn. Run - "yarn install". It should work without any error message.
8. Now turn on the rails server.
For Mac you can run -
brew install node@14 brew unlink node brew link node@14 node -v spring stop
Then run "yarn install" on rails project.
