Packages that uses Chokidar fails to install on npm > 10.3.0 #1319

Closed z-x closed 3 months ago

Describe the bug

It seems that after updating npm to version above 10.3.0, packages that uses Chokidar blocks npm install from remote repository. An example package that uses Chokidar is: https://github.com/Platform-OS/pos-cli

When you clone the repo and install the package locally, everything works. But after publishing to npm it seems that running npm install -g @platformos/pos-cli fails by trying to rebuild something using node-gyp.

I've traced the problem to Chokidar by trial and error. @platformos/pos-cli uses Chokidar directly to observe files, but also we are using LiveReload as dependency (and LiveReload is using Chokidar) and it seems that only removing both of those from the package solves installing on newest npm.

There is a related issue opened in Node repo: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52436

Versions (please complete the following information):

To Reproduce:

It's a little tricky because it fails only when installing a published package from npm. So npm i -g @platformos/pos-cli on latest npm shows the issue. It fails on install when Chokidar is a dependency (even not direct).

Expected behavior It should install as it was working on npm <= 10.3.0. Downgrading npm 'fixes' the issue.

Additional context I am not sure if this is Chokidar problem or something broken with npm or possibly it's fsevents fault: https://github.com/fsevents/fsevents/issues/378

It seems that when I manually install fsevents like so: npm i fsevents@latest -f --save-optional - everything starts to work and I am able to install the package without node-gyp trying to rebuild things.
