Gatsby: Unable to find plugin "gatsby-plugin-sharp"

[kosvrouvas]

Description

Out of the blue, when I gatsby develop I get the message that gatsby_plugin-sharp is missing and I should probably install the package.

I never deleted this package and I was using it from the beginning.

I tried to install it again but I'm getting errors while doing so.

Expected result

Install package

Actual result

I get this installing gatsby-plugin-sharp:

Looking at the stacktrace I would try xcode-select --install

[kosvrouvas]

hmm, i might have uninstalled xcode but I'm sure I did days ago. So you suggest xcode is missing?

Copying node_modules/gatsby-plugin-sharp from another gatsby project and running develop, did the job, but still can't find why it threw errors.

[gurtjun]

I think you need at least the Xcode Command Line Tools because npm relies on those.

[kosvrouvas]

Alright I'll try this and report back 💪

I ve had also issues with the sharp plugin, uninstalled almost everything.
Then i installed it through Yarn instead and it worked.
my xcode was also outdated but didn't throw an error like yours.

[lewislbr]

It happened to me too, and fixed it by yarn upgrade --latest && gatsby clean
