a.isDirectory is not a function -> How to fix it

[Fabien_Vermot]

Hello,
I’m trying to init a custom block for my database but i get this following error whenever I launch the command line block init from any github repo.

Initializing block using https://github.com/xavdid/airtable-grouped-chart template
❌ Something failed! Cleaning up...
❌ Error: a.isDirectory is not a function

Do you have any idea how i can fix it please ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey there - a couple questions for you:

What version of the blocks CLI are you running? block --version
What version of node are you running? node --version

Here are the version :

• Block version : 0.0.62

I would try updating your node version - current long-term stable version is v14.
