When I run the command npm run postbuild, I receive this error:

But when I run the command tfx extension create --manifest-globs azure-devops-extension.json src/TabExtension/*.json --rev-version it works well
what causes the dependencies cycle? how can I fix it?
note: if I remove the param --rev-version it will work well

I had the same issue. I guess the postbuild command is wrong:
"postbuild": "npm run package-extension -- --rev-version"
This works:
"postbuild": "npm run package-extension --rev-version"
