The content of this article is about the solution to the npm ls error caused by the fsevents module under Linux. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you.

There is a project developed under mac, install the package npm i, everything is normal;

Put this project on the Linux machine, install the package npm i, and report it A bunch of warnings:

Careful observation found that the modules of UNMET OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY and npm ERR are the same batch of modules, and they are also the modules that cause warning when installed.

If you look closely, you will find that these are the modules that fsevents depends on.

fsevents can only be installed under macOS and cannot be installed on Linux systems. Under Linux, the fsevents module will be skipped, and the modules that fsevents depends on will not be installed.

This is actually a bug in npm, npm iTimes Warn, npm ls reported againErr, inconsistent and prone to misunderstanding.

Currently, no matter which version of npm is used, this problem will occur, and npm i --no-optional cannot solve this problem.

These error reports do not affect the normal operation of the project, because Linux does not require fsevents.

If you don’t want to see npm Err, you can use npm i -f to force the installation. There is no warn during the installation process. After the installation, npm ls Take a look:

└─┬ chokidar@2.1.5
└── fsevents@1.2.7

is clean, no errors are reported.

My project is chokidarThis module depends on fsevents, chokidar and browser-sync, webpack and other dependencies.
