Error: fsEvents is not a function (using Jest and create-react-app)

See original GitHub issue

I keep getting an error “fsEvents is not a function” when I run npm test

Fragment in package.json

"test": "react-scripts test" Error upon running npm test

React scripts version: 3.0.1 (also tried 3.4.0) Node version: v12.16.1 npm version: 4.6.1

I have tried changing the version of Node (downgrading, upgrading to latest) - doesn’t work, also downgraded npm to 4.x per another post’s recommendation - doesn’t work. Also tried installing the latest version of Chokidar (which I don’t otherwise require as a dependency in the project).

What could be the issue?

i ran brew install watchman and that fixed it for me. not sure if it’s because i’m using fish and fish-nvm or because i just set up a new laptop on apple’s new os catalina.

still using npm, we can’t switch to yarn atm
