EOENT esprima esparse Windows 符号链接无效的目录文件未找到

Question

I'm taking over an outdated electron-webpack + react app, and my build is always getting this error:

Cannot read file C:\\Users\\baz\\Desktop\\foo-bar-app\\node_modules\\esprima\\.bin\\esparse: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\\Users\\baz\\Desktop\\foo-bar-app\\node_modules\\esprima\\.bin\\esparse' at w (C:\\Users\\baz\\Desktop\\foo-bar-app\\node_modules\\app-builder-lib\\src\\asar\\asarUtil.ts:201:11) at writeStream.write (C:\\Users\\baz\\Desktop\\foo-bar-app\\node_modules\\app-builder-lib\\src\\asar\\asarUtil.ts:203:43) at afterWrite (_stream_writable.js:480:3) at onwrite (_stream_writable.js:471:7) at lazyFs.write (internal/fs/streams.js:304:5) at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:502:5) error Command failed with exit code 1.

I found that esprima creates symlinks to esparse in it's .bin folder, but trying to open the symlinks in explorer gives an "invalid directory" alert box, so I assume that is related to the ENOENT

Any clue how to resolve this?

Answer 1

This may have something to do with yarn. When I do a yarn install, it adds the symlinked .bin folder to the esprima package. An npm install doesn't. I deleted the node_modules folder, ran npm i , and then yarn dist , and all seemed well.

Let me know how this works for you!
