Native crash in Node 10

I installed Node 10 on MacOS and Win 10. Used it for various node things with no issues. But starting gulp always results in a native crash. Smells like a Node bug but I report it here because I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

Same steps for Mac or Win…

• Have empty gulpfile.js
• Run gulp
• See crash output:

$ gulp

Same result if I run ./node_modules/.bin/gulp

What version of gulp are you using? What versions of npm and node are you using?

$ gulp -v [21:10:31] CLI version 3.9.1 [21:10:31] Local version 3.9.1 $ node -v v10.0.0

If you can’t reproduce this, I’m happy to debug more, but since I see it in 2 different environments, hopefully it’s easy to reproduce.

Same issue with the console output.

macOS Sierra 10.12.6
$ node -v
v10.0.0

Solution is delete node_modules dir and package-lock.json. Then run sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true Thanks the information from @roblourens @MichaReiser @phated @tdmalone .

@phated Got it - thank you! I did indeed get confused.

For others coming across this, here’s what you need to do for Node 10 support (if using Yarn):

• Find natives@^1.1.0 in your lock file
• Change it to natives@^1.1.3
• Run yarn

If using npm with a package-lock.json the process will probably be fairly similar.

(Be careful modifying your lock file. There’s probably a better way to do it!)
