If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

I recently uninstalled nvm and all node versions it had installed. yarn and the remaining node were both installed with brew. Now if I go into any project and do yarn or yarn add foo, it fails with the above error.

I tried among others yarn clean cache, yarn global add node-gyp, yarn global remove node-gyp, npx node-gyp install, npm install -g node-gyp, brew uninstall yarn node, brew install yarn node, rm -rf .node-gyp .npm. Nothing worked.

What is the expected behavior?

Successful dependency installation.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

node: 12.1.0
yarn: 1.16.0
OS: macOS 10.14.4

[janosh]

I should mention also that yarn global add node-gyp removes yarn from the path. After that calling yarn gives zsh: command not found: yarn until I do brew reinstall yarn. This doesn't seem like expected behavior so maybe related?

[damusnet]

I have the same issue. I tried reverting back to [email protected] which produces the same error.

So my suspicion is that this is more related to node upgrading to v12.

Edit: reverting to [email protected] & [email protected] fixed it for me.

[janosh]

@damusnet I can confirm downgrading to [email protected] is a workaround. Thanks for the tip. Did you try node@11?

[damusnet]

@janosh I wanted to, but unfortunately Homebrew does not seem to have a node@11 version handy 😅

Probably because only node 8 and node 10 are LTS, and node 12 will be the next LTS (but not yet)

[davifantasia]

Thanks @janosh for creating this issue.

Thanks @damusnet for the fix.

[janosh]

node on brew was just updated to v12.3.0 but the error remains.

[tay1orjones]

Can confirm this issue still present with yarn v1.16 and node v12.3.1, similar/same error message pointing to node-gyp

Downgrading to node v10.16.0 with yarn v1.16 resolves the issue.

[DanielRuf]

This is not a bug with yarn or node-gyp but sharp. You should upgrade the affected dependencies.

[janosh]

@DanielRuf Interesting. Do you have a source with further info? Also, which version of sharp do I need?

[DanielRuf]

Hi @janosh,

The error is thrown from the libvips binary which is part of sharp.

error /Users/Janosh/Projects/ocean-artup/node_modules/sharp: Command failed.

sharp 0.22.1 adds NodeJS 12 support, see https://github.com/lovell/sharp/blob/master/docs/changelog.md#v0221---25th-april-2019

[janosh]

Thanks for the additional info. Unfortunately, sharp 0.22.1 doesn't solve the issue I'm having. I'm installing the latest versions of gatsby-plugin-sharp and gatsby-transformer-sharp which both specify sharp ^0.22.1 as a dependency but attempting yarn install still fails with the same error.

[DanielRuf]

@janosh can you provide the output that you see?
What does yarn list --pattern sharp output? Did you remove your yarn.lock and node_modules?

[janosh]

Ah now it worked. I had overlooked that gatsby-plugin-manifest and gatsby-remark-images-contentful also depend on sharp. Specifying the latest versions of those in package.json and removing yarn.lock finally made yarn install suceed! Thanks a lot for the hint. Closing this issue now.

[xiejinhe]

I am aslo the same problem @janosh

[DanielRuf]

Hi @xiejinhe,

Please check the provided solutions and open a new issue.

[rdewolff]

I can confirm downgrading to node v10.16.0 worked for me as well.

[rahulrana95]

I can confirm downgrading to node v10.16.0 worked for me as well.
removed node_modules and .lock file too

[dennyf]

As per @janosh sugestion, just deleting yarn.lock and running yarn install resolved the issue for me.

[stuartcusackie]

I've had problems with this because of an incompatible node-sass version. In my case I just updated it in package.json to the latest:
"node-sass": "~4.13.0",

Then run yarn upgrade, or delete yarn.lock and run yarn install

[soccerdroid]

I can confirm deleting yarn.lock and running yarn install solves the issue.

[elliemaynard]

I'm in a situation where I cannot delete the yarn.lock file because of CI build issues. Downgrading Node to 10.16.0 worked for me.

[thribhu]

I seem to have this issue when I try to deploy with CI pipeline and even with inside a docker container. Unfortunately I might not be able to downgrade the node version to 10.
The issue seems to be appear on
node -v 12.18. Any one still looking at this thread ?
