Error: `fsevents` module is not installed

aaron_nimocks · June 15, 2020, 12:47pm

Setting up my development area on MacOS Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101) following https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

When running YARN START I get the below error.

 New platform optimizer error  Error: `fsevents` module is not installed, most likely because you need to follow the instructions at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/macOS_Catalina.md and re-bootstrap Kibana

On https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/macOS_Catalina.md where it directs you there is an acid test. My system passes the test.

Any idea what to try next?

Those instructions also contain steps to take after your system passes the acid test but fails to run: did you try those?

aaron_nimocks · June 15, 2020, 7:29pm

I don't see any other steps passed acid test. Where do you see additional steps? Maybe I am missing something.

If test succeeded, you are done !

# Installation notes for macOS Catalina (v10.15)
### [node-gyp v7](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/releases) should solve the [`gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!`](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22gyp%3A+No+Xcode+or+CLT+version+detected%21%22+is%3Aclosed) issue.

_This document specifically refers to upgrades from previous versions of macOS to Catalina (10.15). It should be removed from the source repository when Catalina ceases to be the latest macOS version or when future Catalina versions no longer raise these issues._

**Both upgrading to macOS Catalina and running a Software Update in Catalina may cause normal `node-gyp` installations to fail. This might manifest as the following error during `npm install`:**

```console
gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!
```

### Is my Mac running macOS Catalina?
Let's first make sure that your Mac is running Catalina:
```
% sw_vers
    ProductName:	Mac OS X
    ProductVersion:	10.15
    BuildVersion:	19A602
```
If `ProductVersion` is less then `10.15` then this document is not for you. Normal install docs for `node-gyp` on macOS can be found at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-macos

The acid test part passes for me. It says if it passes you are good. If not do the other steps.

If test succeeded, you are done ! You should be ready to install node-gyp .

If test failed, there is a problem with your Xcode Command Line Tools installation. Continue to Solutions.

What other steps on this page am I missing?

wylie · June 15, 2020, 7:54pm

Okay. Did you try running yarn kbn bootstrap before running yarn start?

aaron_nimocks · June 15, 2020, 7:54pm

Yes. Everything works until I get to yarn start with no errors.

There is nothing obviously wrong with your setup. As it shows in our contributing guide, we advice using yarn kbn clean to reset everything and then try those steps again. Some of our operations folks have also asked whether you have the kibana/node_modules/fsevents folder or if it's missing.

aaron_nimocks · June 15, 2020, 8:21pm

There is no kibana/node_modules/fsevents

I checked that earlier and I attempted to copy/paste another one based on a system drive search and it threw more errors. Where do I find the correct one?

spalger · June 15, 2020, 8:31pm

There isn't a "correct one" to copy unfortunately, it needs to be built by yarn during bootstrap. If you run yarn --force in the root of the Kibana directory what output do you get?

aaron_nimocks · June 15, 2020, 8:32pm

Ran clean and now bootstraping again. Looks like the folder is there now. I am guessing when it imported packages the first time it just didn't grab it for whatever reason.

Thanks for the help.

spalger · June 15, 2020, 8:32pm

Yeah, in this scenario yarn doesn't know it needs to try reinstalling fsevents again, doing a clean will force it to. Glad it's working now.
