Error: Cannot find module 'gatsby-cli/lib/reporter'

Description

When trying to do gatsby build, I’m noticing that my custom source plugins as well as Gatsby packages are trying to find gatsby-cli/lib/reporter, so every build fails with something that looks like this:

error Error in "/Users/jaredsilver/projects/marketing-app/node_modules/gatsby-plugin-sharp/gatsby-node.js":

  Error: Cannot find module 'gatsby-cli/lib/reporter'

we rolled back the change for now so the latest npm packages shouldn’t have this issue. We’ll reiterate on the reporter-npm fix and ship it somewhere this week.

Thanks for sticking with us and helping us debug this issue! ❤️ Sorry for the inconveniences it may have caused.

This is caused by https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/commit/967597c12fc5d227de4c1767bf82bc751f2fe0d0

• gatsby-plugin-sharp: src/utils.js
• gatsby-source-filesystem: src/utils.js

Because of require(`gatsby-cli/lib/reporter`)

This error doesn’t occur for yarn because yarn flattens the node_modules tree. So, gatsby-cli is available at ./node_modules/gatsby-cli. With npm it’s ./node_modules/gatsby/node_modules/gatsby-cli.

It works after npm install gatsby-cli --save-dev because, it adds gatsby-cli at top level: ./node_modules/gatsby-cli
