We are actively troubleshooting this on a machine right now. Individual recently updated to Catalina. I realize the issue states for 10.14, but the error is the same and just stated for context.

Believe it to be related to not having xcode installed properly. From your terminal window, try running the command install_name_tool. If you receive a message about command line tools and missing xcrun, then see this blog: https://ma.ttias.be/mac-os-xcrun-error-invalid-active-developer-path-missing-xcrun/

You might also try reinstalling full xcode: https://wilsonmar.github.io/xcode/

I have 10.14 on my mac with full xcode and not experiencing this issue.

I have the same issue with following versions; macOS catalina 14.15.6 node v12.18.3

After install the Xcode toolkit, issue is fixed. xcode-select --install
