依赖关系 - 未安装错误（npm WARN可选SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY：fsevents@^1.0.0（node_modules \ chokidar \ node_modules \ fsevents）

Question

I am trying to get webpack to work in Visual Studio, but keep getting the Dependencies - not installed problem. I get this error in the output:

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@^1.0.0 (node_modules\chokidar\node_modules\fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@1.0.15: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"})

I've read this post and Scott Hanselman's solution in here . Ie I have installed latest node (7.0.0) + npm (3.10.8) and set the Visual Studio to use my node installation (that is definietely used since I see this in output: "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\npm.CMD" install ).

So I followed it all, but the thing is: I still get this stupid not installed warning in Visual Studio. Am I doing something wrong or it was working in one of the versions, but not working anymore with latest node and nmp?

Answer 1

It is a warning that **fseventsd** .

its not an error.

its a MAC OS Specified, running on windows or Linux show this warning,this the only reason it is showing this warning, you can skip it..

Answer 2

Use --no-optional on all environments excepts OSX effectively disabling the cause of the warning.

npm install --no-optional

Also you can change the log level to error so that you won't see warning.
