How to fix 'fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported' - graceful-fs
Recently I've made a switch to Node v.6, and It started creating more and more problems with running normal builds grunt/gulp/webpack
For example:
$ gulp
[14:02:20] Local gulp not found in ~/_Other/angular-2-ts/angular2-seed
[14:02:20] Try running: npm install gulp
while gulp and all other plugins and modules are installed (and even re-installed via rm -rf node_modules) in /node_modules folder.
Most of those errors have line like
(node:42) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported.
If you are using the graceful-fs module,
please update it to a more recent version.
with 42 as arbitrary number
Like in that issue I've submitted - in angular2-seed repo https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed/issues/902
What I've tried to do is downgrade to Node v.5 via n (https://www.npmjs.com/package/n) - it worked. Then remove all node_modules folders, then do
npm info graceful-fs -v
3.3.6
ok, lets upgrade or remove and install new:
npm i graceful-fs@latest
npm i [email protected]
sudo npm i [email protected] -g
all results in
npm info graceful-fs -v
3.3.6
So now I am currenlty stuck with graceful-fs 3.3.6 or even worse in some modules dependances, like
$ angular2-seed
$ npm install
//other lines..
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: graceful-fs v3.0.0 and before
will fail on node releases >= v7.0. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0
as soon as possible. Use 'npm ls graceful-fs' to find it in the tree.
What could be the strategy here:
- Manually patch all the deps that contain graceful-fs < 4.0.0?
- There's some global switch to use specific package version?
- Reinstall everything?
Answer
I had this problem and I was able to fix this by updating npm
sudo npm update -g npm
Before the update, the result of npm info graceful-fs | grep 'version:' was:
version: '3.3.12'
After the update the result is:
version: '3.9.3'
