Incompatible module fsevents #15

Closed jamievicary closed 5 years ago

jamievicary commented 5 years ago

When I run yarn on a fresh repository clone I receive the following message:

info fsevents@1.2.4: The platform "win32" is incompatible with this module.
info "fsevents@1.2.4" is an optional dependency and failed compatibility check. Excluding it from installation.

Is fsevents definitely required, and if so can we get around this issue.

fsevents is an optional dependency of a couple of common packages that is used for file system watching on some operating systems; for others, such as Linux oder Windows, other mechanisms are used. This warning can be safely ignored. See for instance https://stackoverflow.com/a/47071650.
