Expected result

What should happen?

Actual result

I get the following error in the terminal:

Error in "C:\Users\larse.LARS-HP\portfolio\node_modules\gatsby-transformer-sharp\gatsby-node.js": Cannot find module 'C:\Users\larse.LARS-HP\portfolio\node_modules\image-q\dist\iq.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry.

I have tried reinstalling Gatsby-transformer sharp with:

npm install gatsby-transformer-sharp gatsby-plugin-sharp

I have tried installing all dependencies for the Gatsby package:

npm install --save gatsby-cli

I have tried fixing npm by running:

npm audit fix npm audit fix --force

Hi. Could you update your plugins to the latest versions? Your version of gatsby-plugin-sharp is quite old

Hi ascorbic, thanks for helping out! Updating got me a bit further, but I now 2 webpack errors instead:

` ERROR #98124 WEBPACK

Generating JavaScript bundles failed

Can't resolve 'gatsby-link' in 'C:\Users\larse.LARS-HP\portfolio.cache'

If you're trying to use a package make sure that 'gatsby-link' is installed. If you're trying to use a local file make sure that the path is correct.

File: .cache\navigation.js

ERROR #98124 WEBPACK

Generating JavaScript bundles failed

Can't resolve 'gatsby-react-router-scroll' in 'C:\Users\larse.LARS-HP\portfolio.cache'

If you're trying to use a package make sure that 'gatsby-react-router-scroll' is installed. If you're trying to use a local file make sure that the path is correct.

File: .cache\production-app.js`

I tried manually installing 'gatsby-link' and 'gatsby-react-router-scroll' but it didn't make a difference.

After the update my Gatsby install looks like this: System: OS: Windows 10 10.0.19041 CPU: (8) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz Binaries: Node: 15.0.1 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.EXE Yarn: 1.22.5 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.CMD npm: 7.0.3 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD Languages: Python: 3.9.0 - /c/Python39/python Browsers: Chrome: 87.0.4280.88 Edge: Spartan (44.19041.423.0), Chromium (87.0.664.66) npmPackages: gatsby: ^2.30.0 => 2.30.0 gatsby-background-image: ^1.3.1 => 1.3.1 gatsby-image: ^2.9.0 => 2.9.0 gatsby-plugin-brotli: ^2.0.0 => 2.0.0 gatsby-plugin-manifest: ^2.10.0 => 2.10.0 gatsby-plugin-offline: ^3.8.0 => 3.8.0 gatsby-plugin-postcss: ^3.5.0 => 3.5.0 gatsby-plugin-preact: ^4.5.0 => 4.5.0 gatsby-plugin-react-helmet: ^3.8.0 => 3.8.0 gatsby-plugin-react-i18next: ^0.0.27 => 0.0.27 gatsby-plugin-react-svg: ^3.0.0 => 3.0.0 gatsby-plugin-sharp: ^2.12.0 => 2.12.0 gatsby-plugin-transition-link: ^1.20.5 => 1.20.5 gatsby-remark-images: ^3.9.0 => 3.9.0 gatsby-remark-prismjs: ^3.11.0 => 3.11.0 gatsby-source-filesystem: ^2.9.0 => 2.9.0 gatsby-transformer-remark: ^2.14.0 => 2.14.0 gatsby-transformer-sharp: ^2.10.0 => 2.10.0 npmGlobalPackages: gatsby-cli: 2.16.2

Thanks again for the help.

3rd time installing node_modules and updating did it!

I have no idea why it kept failing? But it is working again - thanks for helping ascorbic !
