It should work?

This is not yarn. It is AWS giving you a 404 from one of the install scripts running through fsevents. Looks like it goes through with npm because it was cached. If you try again with Yarn it may go through if this was a temporary server issue.

If not, then if you clear your npm cache and try again, that will also fail.

[justin808]

I cleared both my yarn and node caches and I still get this error, yarn 1.6.0, node 10.1.0.

[jadchaar]

I am getting this issue as well on Node 10.4.1.

Update: it turns out the version of Webpack we are using depends on an older version of fsevents that is not compatible with Node ^10.

Try running yarn upgrade.

[jacksonhardy]

I'm also having this issue, but only in directories that I set up with yarn create react-app [dir name] a few months ago.

If I create a new directory, i.e. for a different project, then I have no issues.

I'm using node 10.4.1 npm 6.1.0 yarn 1.7.0

I've tried running yarn upgrade but it triggers the same error w/ fsevents.

Anyone have any other ideas?

[esausilva]

@sisterjones I'm having the same issue in my Mac with CRA and is driving me crazy (Node 10.4.1). It works in Windows though, but I have Node 9.11.1 in Windows

Edit: I downgraded to Node 9.11.12 and everything works fine now. Hopefully a fix to this is released soon

[MaxGraey]

Same issue on MacOS with node 10.5.0

[wilomgfx]

same issue with node 10.6.0 (macOs mojave beta 2)

[xuqingkuang]

Just downgrade the node to LTS 8.11.3 will works fine.

Every nodejs version lower than 10 should work.

[joshkg]

I experienced this issue when upgrading my Ember project to version 3.2, which requires node 10+. The only thing that helped was yarn upgrade.

[regiondavid]

use node 8.11 fixed

[esausilva]

The latest Yarn version fixes this. I haven't had this issues since updating and now I'm running Node 10.x

[Macilias]

I can not run yarn upgrade because it says:

error Outdated lockfile. Please run yarn install and try again.

when run yarn install it says:

error /Users/username/Programming/github.com/projectname/node_modules/node-zopfli: Command failed.
Exit code: 1

Seams like an mission impossible to me

[esausilva]

@Macilias you can delete the lock file and yarn will re-create it when running yarn install

[Macilias]

while true, yarn fails to recreate it once the file has been deleted, so the project stays in an unusable state ... We could not figure out how to update it to get into a usable state.

[ghost]

I've cleared the cache and that works perfectly. try yarn cache clean

[maximelafarie]

The same with yarn cache clean on Mojave OS. 😕
Output:

...
gyp ERR! cwd /Users/username/.../app/node_modules/fsevents
gyp ERR! node -v v10.12.0
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.6.2

...

[BYK]

Try running yarn global add node-gyp first and then try installing fsevents. Btw. which version of yarn are you using? In recent versions this shouldn't be necessary.

[underwindfall]

I have the same issue, just like @maximelafarie
try running yarn global add node-gyp did not save me. @BYK

yarn version :1.2.1
node version :v10.13.0
npm version :6.4.1
macOS version : Mojave

EDIT
For those who have the same issue like me, I have to downgrade node version to skip reinstalling fsevents. So I gonna paste the final environment of my workspace

yarn version :1.2.3
node version :8.12.0

[shrinathaithal]

Mine worked with following -

rm yarn.lock
yarn cache clean
yarn install

[yuhr]

Same error as @maximelafarie, with yarn global add some package comes with fsevents, but yarn cache clean succeeds.

• yarn 1.12.1
• node 11.0.0
• macOS 10.14 Mojave

Edit
The issue seems to be resolved by running yarn global add node-gyp and then yarn global remove node-gyp ... I'm not sure what happened, anyway everything's working without error for me 😭

[evannorstrand]

This issue is happening for me as well.

yarn 1.12.1
node 11.0.0
macOS 1.14 Mojave.

The above fixes did not work for me.

[ambroisemaupate]

Same for me:

• yarn 1.12.3
• node v11.1.0
• macOs 10.14.1

The above fixes did not work for me.

[leegee]

Me too.... why is this issue closed?

09:13:23 $ node -v
v11.2.0
09:18:10 $ yarn -v
1.12.3
09:18:12 $ sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.13.6
BuildVersion:   17G65

In my case, it was helpful to downgrade python to 2.7 using pyenv.

node-gyp would require python 2.7, not 3.x.

On Mac OS X with versions:

$ sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.13.6
BuildVersion:   17G3025
$ node -v
v11.12.0
$ yarn -v
1.15.2

The following helped (and yes npm succeeded before):

# xcode was erroring with brew
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
sudo xcodebuild -license accept

# fresh new node modules
rm -rf node_modules

# solution @shrinathaithal (these commands alone did not help though)
rm yarn.lock
yarn cache clean
yarn install

I had solved exactly same error, by changing the version of node from latest to lts.

$ sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.14.4
BuildVersion:   18E227
$ npm -v
6.4.1
$ yarn -v
1.15.2
$ node -v
v12.0.0

$ sudo n lts
$ node -v
v10.15.3

$ create-react-app my-app

Had a similar issue with Node v12.1.0 on my Mac just now. Fixed it by using $ yarn upgrade. I think the key was updating from fsevents v1.2.8 to v1.2.9.

[conatus]

I had the same issue as this running the following:

> sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.14.4
BuildVersion:   18E226
> node -v
v12.1.0

Running yarn cache clean followed by using the LTS version of Node.js at v10.15.3 as opposed to the current version fixed it.

I'm nvm to juggle multiple Node.js versions.

[mmontag]

Another one fixed here by downgrading node from v12.2.0 to LTS v10.15.3.

[coreyward]

There was recently an issue with fsevents causing it to be incompatible with Node 12. This was resolved and released in fsevents v1.2.9. If you have dependencies that rely on fsevents you can tell Yarn to use version 1.2.9 for each of them using resolutions:

Add this to your package.json file, then re-run yarn (or yarn install):

"resolutions": {
  "fsevents": "1.2.9"
}

[rolandoalvarado]

yarn upgrade solves my issue.

[byzyk]

Please note that Yarn is going to treat packages listed in resolutions (as suggested by @coreyward) as non-optional because of #6834 bug. Because of the bug, your build might succeed on macOS but will fail on Linux.

[aindong]

I recently experienced this issue and yarn upgrade did solve the problem. Thank you!

[coreyward]

@aindong Did you see the comment above yours?

Please note that Yarn is going to treat packages listed in resolutions (as suggested by @coreyward) as non-optional because of #6834 bug. Because of the bug, your build might succeed on macOS but will fail on Linux.

You can do yarn upgrade on your mac, which will install fsevents, but then when you go to deploy to a Linux server where fsevents is not available (it's macOS-specific) it will fail.

[egel]

If you still have a problem with fsevents you probably need to upgrade the packages which you're using. They may have old dependencies which in the end uses an old version of fsevents. In my case, it was nodemod -> yarn upgrade nodemon

How to find them:

1. yarn list
2. search backward for all occurrences of fsevents
3. update those packages (best to latest versions). yarn upgrade <package>
4. remove local node_modules rm -rf node_modules
5. clean yarn cache yarn cache clean
6. reinstall packages yarn

[coreyward]

@egel This is overkill. Most of the dependencies that reference fsevents as a dependency are going to have it declared like ~> 0.2.7 or >= 0.2.7, which allow you install version 0.2.9 while still meeting the requirements. Thus the solution of using resolutions, which allow you to have Yarn _resolve_ a dependency declaration (e.g. fsevents ~> 0.2.7 or fsevents) to a specific version.

As a note, this works great for most dependencies, but because fsevents is platform specific and previous versions of Yarn didn't allow resolutions to be optional, when Yarn would be run in an environment that doesn't use fsevents (like Linux), dependency installation would fail. I believe this has been fixed in the latest version of Yarn, but if not a workaround is to add the resolutions, re-run yarn install, and then commit _only_ your yarn.lock file and discard the resolution declaration in your package.json file. This results in the correct version of fsevents being utilized going forward, but since resolutions are not used the optional flag is not clobbered.

In any case, running commands like rm -rf node_modules and yarn cache clean are ineffective when you do not have an issue with corrupted packages. Rebuilding the entire cache over the network is slow, too, doing this unnecessarily is not recommended.

[andreluisjunqueira]

i solved node-pre-gyp ERR! not ok by changing node version to 10.2.1, yarn 1.21.1, and now is working fine !

[chuxolatouz]

I don't know if someone still have this issue. I solved it doing
yarn install --check-files
I had to do it a couple of times

I did it on OSX 10.13 High Sierra

[bmorrical-ICC]

Works for me:

yarn upgrade
revert changes in package.json (if needed for your situation)
rm -rf node_modules
rm yarn.lock
yarn
commit newly created lock file

[jmlavoier]

It worked for me xcode-select --install

[sneko]

In my case and since I have Babel I was not able to use:

"resolutions": {
  "**/**/fsevents": "^1.2.9"
}

due to multiple nested dependencies using different version of it.

But I succeeded using:

  "resolutions": {
    "**/**/chokidar": "^2.1.8"
  }

Roughly, Babel team wants to keep compatibility with Node 6 that's why it still use the old fsevents, but they plan to migrate in Babel v8.

Hope it helps 🥰

[JeffreyCA]

I solved this by deleting package-lock.json and re-running npm install.

[dario-pon]

I don't know if someone still have this issue. I solved it doing
yarn install --check-files
I had to do it a couple of times

I did it on OSX 10.13 High Sierra

This solved for me! I had to run it few times as well.
Thanks
