This looks like you are using Windows.
With Windows you should not use npm to install CLI but the Windows Installer
https://binaries.particle.io/cli/installer/windows/ParticleCLISetup.exe

While in PS you can also try hopping into cmd and try from there again.
From there you can run where particle to see where your system is looking for CLI (providing it knows of it at all).

Everything was working fine one moment and the next I get the above. I programmed all morning on the exact same file and then all of a sudden got this error. I don’t know what could have happened. Do I need to reinstall particle?

In that case it shouldn’t be necessary to reinstall.
Have you tried logging out and in again?
Have you tried running it from outside VS Code?

I went to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\particle when I type particle I get "welcome to the command line interface! Version 3.0.0

6

I don’t know how to logout of VS.

I typed in the open serial command in the CLI and it opened a serial port and works fine. I had no idea this was even a thing. It seems like somehow the particle path within VS was broken. Is there somewhere I can point it to the correct place? Thanks for the help.

I logged out and back in via the command line. No change in VS.

I’m not that much of an expert on the inner workings of VS Code, so I’d have to defer to @m_m to get CLI back up in the terminal.

try running the Particle: Launch CLI command in Workbench and then re-running your particle serial command in the terminal instance that launches.

if you are still seeing unexpected behavior, these troubleshooting steps might be helpful:
