npm error while installing ionic dependencies

After cloning the project code from the Repository, I'm trying to install the npm to update the packages and plugins included. The command used is:

npm install

It worked well for previous clones. But now it displays the following error:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected]
npm WARN appname@ No repository field.
npm WARN appname@ No license field.

When I tried to install fsevents using --verbose, it is said that the supported OS is Darwin. But it worked in the previous clone. Why not now?

If your a Windows user:

The fsevents warning isn't a problem. It's an optional dependency and isn't needed for this to work on Windows.

But the error still displaying, in order to fix this.

  • Open package.json and delete the gulp-watch dependecy
  • Manualy remove the folder (gulp-watch) from the node_modules fordel
  • Unload the Project and uploaded again

The error is gone!!!

There's a issue open to fix this in .net core , but this will work untill then.
