Node-gyp: fsevents installation crashes with "'MSVSProject' object has no attribute 'iteritems'"

Created on 9 Jul 2015  路  38Comments  路  Source: nodejs/node-gyp

I had the same issue as @jamietre in npm/npm#8878. Looking at the stack trace, I'm pretty sure it's node-gyp that's encountering some sort of error while trying to install fsevents (a Mac OS X-specific module, from the looks of it). The error message seems generic enough to be a gyp-related one rather than an fsevents one though, so I'm filing it here.

ERR! node-gyp -v <= v5.1.0 Node Sass --> Dart Sass Windows

Same issue here installing various projects - fsevents always fails even though it seems like it shouldn't be required on a Windows system? I'm on Windows 8.1 with msys2.

Same issue here: node 0.12.7, npm 3.1.3, node-gyp 2.0.2 and Visual Studio 2015 on a Windows 8.1 x64 with environment variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION set to 2015

I've downgraded to npm 2.11.2 and the package was installed normally.

gabrielgiordan picture gabrielgiordan on 22 Jul 2015

I've the issue but can't go back to npm < 3.0 because I really need flattened node_modules folder feature of npm 3.0.
Really need a fix

I've gotten this error, but the modules worked fine anyways. Last time I specifically remember this happening is with webpack. Using 3.1.0 in Windows 8.1. Discussed in the fsevents repo in strongloop/fsevents#73.

And NPM is fixing the errors for optional modules: npm/npm#8921

@rchanou I just came across that npm issue myself. It looks like that's the real culprit.

Hey! Good news, this should be fixed in the just released [email protected]!

iarna picture iarna on 25 Jul 2015

Awesome news @iarna just tested the new release right now and worked like a charm! Many thanks!

gabrielgiordan picture gabrielgiordan on 25 Jul 2015

Thanks @iarna :)

Hey, @iarna! I still have this problem with npm 3.5.0.

We are using shrinkwrap.json if it's important.

andrei-eliseev-sb picture andrei-eliseev-sb on 27 Nov 2015

If I delete shrinkwrap.json and node_modules folder then the problem goes away. But I get another warning

npm install
npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected]

Not sure if the problem is solved because fsevents is updated after deleting shrinkwrap.json..

This is no longer an issue if you follow the install steps from node-gyp module readme file.

Make sure you have the proper MSVS version installed, the correct env PATH set, and env vars set. Also update your Git version from the website, it solves a lot of issues. Make sure git is available from the CMD and only from Gitbash.

The only problem might be where npm modules are very old and outdated. There nothing you can do for this, unless you start raising PRs to fix them.

Also you can use node-gyp-install from NPM to help you with node-gyp it that fails to download the proper files. Just install globally node gyp and run node-gyp-install after.

Ping, any update?

bpasero picture bpasero on 1 Sep 2016

@bpasero If fsevents is in optionalDependencies, I think it should Just Work(TM). Speaking with both my fsevents and node-gyp maintainer hats on.

bnoordhuis picture bnoordhuis on 1 Sep 2016

@bnoordhuis we use npm-shrinkwrap and so fsevents will be compiled even if it is a optional dependency. I think https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12698 is the root cause of that.

Can someone fix this issue ASAP !

+1 same issue with npm 3.10.3

khowling picture khowling on 28 Oct 2016

Happening for me as well on Windows 8.1 and npm version 3.10.9. Any updates on this?

symbyte picture symbyte on 30 Dec 2016

I'm getting this on Windows 7, npm 5.0.3.

robertlagrant picture robertlagrant on 16 Jun 2017

Same issue on Windows 10, npm 5.0.3

This is an npm bug, node-gyp fails to compile fsevents on Windows because it should only be installed on macOS. There is nothing node-gyp can do to fix it. optionalDependencies shouldn't be installed on windows if they're mac specific.

@bpasero mentioned that https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12698 might be the cause of the bug, please see that issue, or raise/find a newer one on https://github.com/npm/npm/ if there's a new issue with npm5.

Is there a work around @gibfahn ?

@bpasero mentioned that npm/npm#12698 might be the cause of the bug, please see that issue, or raise/find a newer one on https://github.com/npm/npm/ if there's a new issue with npm5.

AttributeError: 'MSVSProject' object has no attribute 'items'

And again a problem with node-gyp 5.0.5 in this env:

  • node v12.13.1
  • npm 6.13.4
  • Windows 10

Update: Upgrading to node-gyp 6.1.0 didn't help. It still uses node-gyp 5.0.5

This workaround worked for me, and maybe useful to others, too.

Does the error message say items or iteritems?

The error message is:

AttributeError: 'MSVSProject' object has no attribute 'items'

Note that in the screenshot it says node-gyp 5.05. However, version 6.1.0 is installed globally....

Update: Meanwhile I cannot reproduce the problem anymore. I do not know what change made this work. I no longer need the workaround (locking fsevents to particular version) anymore either.

@cclauss The error message says iteritems. Here are a bunch of screenshots.

node-gyp is v3, not v7
Node Saas is history so please use Dart Saas instead.
