Create react app dependency error #2558

sumit-raikar · 2017-06-18T05:48:31Z

Note from Maintainers:

If you're having this issue please roll back `npm` to a version without this bug:
`npm install -g npm@4`

When i try to create a new react application using create-react-app, it tries to download fsevents but fails ,also gives Error: Can't find Python executable "python" and Error: Failed to execute 'node-gyp.cmd configure errors. I have attached the screenshot. Thank you in advance.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

elmennani89 · 2017-06-18T12:55:58Z

same error in the instalation it gives me:

warning fsevents@1.1.2: The platform "win32" is incompatible with this module.
info "fsevents@1.1.2" is an optional dependency and failed compatibility check. Excluding it from installation.

deehuey · 2017-06-18T15:15:36Z

+10 fucking million.

I have been trying to debug this all morning. Only just started happening to me. NPM version is 5.0.3

Can somebody please find a solution.

viankakrisna · 2017-06-18T15:57:47Z

fsevents should only be installed on osx. I think it's a bug with npm@5 mapbox/node-pre-gyp#298
can you all try with npm 4 / use the proposed workaround (deleting and disabling package-lock)?

Timer · 2017-06-18T17:03:49Z

I have a feeling the recently merged #2550 will solve this in the next release.

Timer · 2017-06-18T17:04:22Z

Can someone please try downgrading to Node 6 or 7 to see if this persists for them?

elmennani89 · 2017-06-18T17:19:49Z

I think this issue is related to Webpack, when I tried to create my own boilerplate without using create-react-app, the issue appears when I tried to add Webpack

Fea-Sin · 2017-06-19T02:27:04Z

I have the same problem, enviroment win7 64bit, create-react-app version : 1.3.1. what ?

9minimart · 2017-06-19T16:06:10Z

I have same problem.

node 8.1.2
npm 5.0.3
create-react-app 1.3.1

I try to downgrade npm to npm 4 latest.
I have no problem.

elmennani89 · 2017-06-20T12:16:18Z

I downgrade to node 6.11.0 and npm 4.6 but the issue still there

UNDERCOVERj · 2017-06-20T12:30:21Z

+1。and i install react-router, then the issue still there

gaearon · 2017-06-22T20:03:47Z

cc @TheLarkInn, any ideas what happened? We didn't change anything on our side.

kylelamse · 2017-06-23T01:07:29Z

Same issue for me.

node v6.11.0
npm 5.0.3
create-react-app 1.3.1
windows 10

elmennani89 · 2017-06-23T04:25:59Z

The exact error it gives me after running yarn start is:

yarn start v0.24.5
$ react-scripts start

gaearon · 2017-06-23T14:38:06Z

Try:

Removing package-lock.json if you have one
Removing yarn.lock if you have one
Downgrading npm to 3.x if it's newer
Run npm install
Then run npm start

Does this help anyone?

kylelamse · 2017-06-23T15:12:49Z

@gaearon are you suggesting that just to diagnose the issue? Because I think it would be inconvenient to be forced to use an old npm...

gaearon · 2017-06-23T15:16:28Z

Changing npm version takes a few minutes in my experience. npm@5 is known to have a lot of bugs, and I want to figure out if at least some cases are caused by npm@5 or not.

gaearon · 2017-06-23T16:07:59Z

I just tried with npm@5 and I saw the error noise (although eventually the installation finished successfully for me). In the meantime I recommend downgrading: npm i -g npm@4.

gaearon · 2017-06-23T16:16:37Z

I'm fairly sure it is this npm bug: npm/npm#16810.
Unfortunately there's nothing we can do until it's fixed.

If you're having this issue please roll back `npm` to a version without this bug:
`npm install -g npm@4`

If you still have a problem after downgrading npm please file a new issue with screenshots and details about your system.

Full error message (so that Google picks it up):

npm install -g npm@4 it works, thanks very much

mnemanja · 2017-07-05T10:32:38Z

I've managed to make it work with the following setup:

node - v6.10.0
npm - v5.0.4
react-scripts - 1.0.10
os - win10

After the update to 1.0.10 I've also updated the react and react-dom versions to v15.6.1, I've deleted the package-lock.json and deleted the node_modules and re-installed the dependencies and then everything started working as it should be.

Hope this helps.

medeirosrich · 2017-07-05T18:06:58Z

For me this worked:

delete package-lock.json
npm i -g npm
npm install

VenkateshManohar27 · 2017-12-02T14:54:23Z

npm install -g npm@4 works, thanks a lot :)
