Sure, it ended with "success" and exit code 0, but I'm the one stuck explaining to my boss
"No really it's OK to just ignore that error"
and then my boss telling me,
"Well how am I gonna explain that to the client? It looks like the computer threw up all over the terminal!"
If I wanted to "fix" this, where would I start? Obviously it is already marked as an optionalDependency of chokidar. So my inital thoughts are:
- the build script for fsevents could detect the Windows platform earlier (before running node-gyp) and abort much more quietly, OR
- chokidar could stop listing fsevents as an optionalDependency and handle detecting Mac and installing fsevents, OR
- maybe the problem is with npm/yarn itself and how it treats optionalDependencies. Why is it even trying to build fsevents when the package.json file clearly says
"os": "darwin"?

npm basically ignores 'os', it prints a warning but that's it. I haven't worked with yarn but it sounds like it works the same.
The current UX is regrettable but I'm disinclined to add hacks to fsevents to work around npm's broken behavior. The node-pre-gyp -> node-gyp dance is fragile enough that I don't like the idea of tacking on more stuff.
You could try petitioning npm but their CLI team seems to be permanently understaffed. You may have better luck with yarn.

Huh, now I thought I _used_ to have this problem with npm... but now I can only reproduce it in yarn. I'm going to see what yarn's deal is... I think it is marking it as an installation failure but not excluding it from its lifecycle build scripts, or something. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

For posterity: Try using yarn install --ignore-optional
