Experiencing the same issue with node v12.3.1.

Just updated the cli .... it's broken:

Yay! Literally just experienced this, must have pulled right before you released. Thanks all!

mattbloomfield on 28 Jun 2019

Great, it works! I also had to update gatsby (not just the cli). Thanks!

johntiger1 on 28 Jun 2019

Hi folks!

I updated every part, which was mentioned in the comments. Now I run on:

node v10.16.0 (it the recommended LTS version)
npm 6.9.2
[email protected]
[email protected]

I'm on a Window 10 PC.

However, I get this error message whenever I type
gatsby develop

I fear, this is the same behaviour as before the update. What do I have to do to to get my Gatsby App up again?

lukitroe on 29 Jun 2019

@lukitroe can you run gatsby info in that project and post the output here?

KyleAMathews on 29 Jun 2019

Hello @KyleAMathews
Thank you much for your help!
Here is the output of gatsby info

Unfortunately it shows the same error! Is there a cache or something similar I can clear? My next steps would be to re-install everything. Do you think it is a good idea?

I appreciate your help!
Best regards,
lukitroe

Not sure — try running npm install -g gatsby-cli@latest?

But, I'm still not able to run gatsby develop. Now there are several problems. One of them is this here

Hmmm... now I'm really confused. I'll investigate all my versions and packages, one error message was about core-js. Maybe updating core-js helps.
I'll give feedback if I got a solution or have more hints.

Progress!

Try deleting the lock file and node_modules directory and reinstalling.

Hello @KyleAMathews

I think, my system is completly broken now. So I think, this ticket can be closed, cause it is no general error of Gatsby, but a problem of my setup. I constantyl ran into the same error. Maybe I switch to Docker Images and Containers, otherwise I have to redo all my work.

However, I really want to thank you for your help and your patience.
Best regards,
lukitroe

Hello!
Finally, I found a solution, I mean, @KyleAMathews wrote already the correct solution:

delete nodes_moduls and lock file
reinstall via npm install -g and afterwards npm install

Additionally, I executed gatsby clean.
AND, it seems, my main problem was a line with gatsby-link in my package.json file. Deleting this line, redo steps 1 and 2 did the trick. Please do not ask how this line got into package.json (I blame magic for that).

@KyleAMathews Once again: thank you very much!

Best regards,
lukitroe
