`fsevents` dependency prevents installation

Hi @basarat,

I just re-installed atom (on mac os) no other packages, and then tried to install atom-typescript.

I get this error:

Some installed packages could not be loaded because they contain native modules that were compiled for an earlier version of Atom

And here is the content of the npm-debug.log:

Please let me know if I can provide any other information.

Could it be that I have a “stale” fsevents on my machine?

Shall I wipe the npm database or some such?

I resolved this issue by navigating to .atom/packages/atom-typescript rm -rf node_modules npm install and then rebuilding in atom.

For what it’s worth, it looks like there was a bug on Atom’s end for rebuilding native modules (see https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/8837) that is resolved in 1.0.15
