I done npm update and broke start project. Using npm run start returns an error:

I've already tried:

• Removing node_modules and package-lock.json, clean cache and npm install
• Switch Node.js and NPM versions to lastest stable
• Installing the project again in another folder

But it didn't help me. What else can I do?

Judging of your filepath's it seems like you are using MacOS. I have experienced this issue a few times on my macbook m1 silicone and was able to resolve this issue by installing Watchman. You can simply do that with the help of brew.

First update brew;

brew update

then execute this command;

brew install watchman

Let me know if this solved your issue.

CodePudding user response：

npm install graceful-fs

It resolve my problem.
