Gulp: After update to Node 11.0.0 running Gulp exits with 'ReferenceError: internalBinding is not defined'

Created on 24 Oct 2018 · 11Comments · Source: gulpjs/gulp

I am running MacOS 10.13.6 and use Homebrew to keep Node and NPM up to date. I've updated to Node '11.0.0' and NPM '6.4.1' today. I've installed Gulp '3.9.1' globally. When i try to run Gulp in my project folder i get the following error (before '11.0.0' everything worked flawlessly):

$> gulp
fs.js:25
'use strict';
^

ReferenceError: internalBinding is not defined

    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:536:3)
    at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:643:17)

Is it possible that the error goes back to the following change in Node '11.0.0'

https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/22146

So that changes have to be applied to graceful-fs and or natives? If you need any further infos let me know. Thanks r.

This issue is not resolved. Reinstalling node_modules doesn't help.

@rpkoller When you update node you need to run rm -rf node_modules && npm install to rebuild/reinstall your native modules against your new node version.

@contra at first thanks for the fast answer and sorry didn't knew that you have to rebuild/reinstall against the new version :/ will try when i am back home. thanks again!

I also wouldn't recommend using 3.9.1 with node 11 - they have been threatening to break that version forever and who knows if they finally did it. You can install 4.0.0 with npm install gulp@next but you'll likely need to migrate any existing gulpfile to the new syntax (check out our new docs!)

I was using yarn and had updated it then i suddenly started encountering this problem.
i just ran yarn upgrade in my project folder
Everything works fine
