Update on what the issue was for me, not sure if anyone else will find this helpful though:

I use WSL but have yarn installed on my Windows side of things, and somehow my .yarn folder on my Windows filesystem made it into the PATH of my Ubuntu installation. Removing the .yarn folder from my PATH, running an npm uninstall -g create-react-app, then running npx create-react-app test caused everything to work properly.

I had the same problem. It helped me: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/8097

Since create-react-app 3.3.0 it’s not longer recommended to use a global installation of CRA.

However, after following the recommended way, uninstalling CRA globally and using npm,I ran into the following problem for my new React project:

A template was not provided. This is likely because you’re using an outdated version of create-react-app.

It seems like CRA wasn’t properly uninstalled. I had to do the following:

After uninstalling it with npm uninstall -g create-react-app, check whether you still have it “installed” with which create-react-app on your command line. If it returns something (e.g. /usr/local/bin/create-react-app), then do a rm -rf /usr/local/bin/create-react-app to delete manually.

Afterward, I was able to use npx create-react-app my-app with the latest version of CRA where I would have the default template for the src/ folder.
