Job name “..getProjectMetadata” does not exist

I had this error after npm audit found vulnerabilities in the version of @angular-devkit/build-angular that I was using. I ran npm audit fix which updated it to 0.900.2, but when I ran ng serve it gave the error quoted in the question.

I resolved it by downgrading to version 0.803.25. This was the highest version I could find which did not cause any errors when running ng serve. The vulnerabilities found by npm audit are resolved in this version.

This is the command I ran:

npm i @angular-devkit/build-angular@0.803.25
