Error: Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'

I’ve tried several different solutions online to fix this problem. Mostly reinstalling node and npm. I also tried installing the latest graceful-fs with npm install -g graceful-fs graceful-fs@latest.

Some solutions say to sit tight unless it’s causing a problem. In my case, it’s causing problems.

I’m getting the following error.

This error happens with any gulp command from the gulp file.

Versions: gulp: 3.9.1 npm: 5.6.0 node: 9.11.1 (although, I used 8.11.1 as well)

If I go to node version 6.2.2 then that fixed the problem. But, most people said that they download 6.2.2 and then redownload the latest and everything works fine. In my case, if I upgrade to 8.11.1 again, then stuff breaks.

Note: I also ran npm cache verify and npm install after the upgrade.

What should I do?

My solution is to update vinyl-fs。

Update your dependencies, so you can use graceful-fs >=4. npm ls helps to find bad dependencies, for us it were old versions of gulp and gulp-typescript.
