[BUG] fails to install packages on my Gatsby website

pedrolamas commented 4 years ago

Current Behavior:

npm i fails on my Gatsby website, but works fine with yarn 1.22.10

Expected Behavior:

To install packages with no errors at all!

Steps To Reproduce:

Clone https://github.com/pedrolamas/pedrolamas.com
Remove yarn.lock file
Try npm i -> this will show failure of type mismatch between a few eslint dependencies, however this works with yarn
Remove "eslint-config-prettier" and "eslint-plugin-prettier" dependencies from package.json
Try npm i -> this fails with "Cannot read property 'matches' of undefined"

Environment:

OS: Windows 10 build 19042.572 Node: 12.19.0 npm: 7.0.7 (7.0.2, 7.0.3, 7.0.5 also had the same issue)

FYI, I have tried this in Ubuntu under WSL 2 and had the same results.

When building gatsby-remark-embedder against Node 15, I got the same error: https://travis-ci.com/github/MichaelDeBoey/gatsby-remark-embedder/jobs/402578685

I managed to get the same error by first doing a clean install on Node 14 (using npm@6.14.8) on macOS, switching to Node 15 (using npm@7.0.2) and doing another npm install.

I got the same error when installing gatsby-cli. The source of the error is here: https://github.com/npm/arborist/blob/main/lib/arborist/build-ideal-tree.js#L1284. this only happens on npm 7. It works fine on 6.14.8

I just tested with the latest npm 7.0.5 and this problem is still happening.

I've updated the npm version in the initial post.
