Trying to run react-native run-ios or build RN project from xcode, as soon as metro bundler starts, this error appears in the terminal:
Loading dependency graph...jest-haste-map: Watchman crawl failed. Retrying once with node crawler.
Usually this happens when watchman isn't running. Create an empty `.watchmanconfig` file in your project's root folder or initialize a git or hg repository in your project.

This never happened before the Catalina update. I've had an empty watchman config file in the root of my project since the beginning. On first boot post-update, there was a popup in terminal saying something about permissions but i dont remember exactly. there's also a notice in my terminal in visual studio code saying "the default shell changed to zsh" run chsh -s /bin/zsh to change, so i did.
I've tried:
watchman watch-del-all
watchman server-shutdown
adding full disk access to terminal from within system preferences->privacy tab
npm uninstall watchman & npm uninstall -g watchman
You need to grant disk access to watchman. To do this You need to:
Go to System preferences > Security & Privacy then scroll down
Select Full Disk Access
Unlock it and click + button to add new app/tool
Select Macintosh HD in the folders list
Press this combination shift Command . at the same time to see all the directories list
Click opt > brew > bin (watchman is installed in this folder for MacOS Catalina) || usr > local > Cellar > Watchman > 21***** > bin (watchman is installed in this folder MacOS Monterey)
Look for watchman in the list then select it
Here we go, this should fix the issue.
I had the same issue after updating to Catalina. Wez Furlong's answer worked for me, but I had to provide full disk access to watchman in order to run watchman watch-project command without getting "Operation not permitted" error. As part of prior troubleshooting, I also had provided full disk access to Xcode and Terminal (not sure if this also contributed to the fix).
First run watchman watch-del-all
then run watchman shutdown-server fixed my issue
To change the permissions for Watchman regarding the Documents folder, it's under Security & Privacy -> files & folders in the system preferences
My issue was resolved by checking Watchman in the list under Document folder
The error message indicates a permission problem on /Users/vorousjames/Desktop/Development/TicTacWHOA/app/TicTacWHOA.
However, it may be something funky with launchd, so I would suggest:
$ watchman shutdown-server
$ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.facebook.watchman.plist
$ rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.github.facebook.watchman.plist
$ watchman watch-project /Users/vorousjames/Desktop/Development/TicTacWHOA/app/TicTacWHOA
and see if that works or shows more context.
Cross linking back to an issue in our GitHub tracker:
https://github.com/facebook/watchman/issues/751
You need to change something its works for me. follow only following steps:
1. Go to System preferences > Security & Privacy then scroll down.
2. Select Full Disk Access.
3. Look for all watchmen on the list.
4. check(Mark) all Folders in all watchman files.
5. then go to vs code.
6. rebuilt your code.
I hope it will work smoothly
Try to change the directory of your project. I had mine on desktop and was getting that error, moved to the home folder and the error is gone
Just uncheck the repeated boxes in Mac:
System Preferences -> Security and privacy -> Privacy
For me above scenario didn't work, so I tried with different solution which solved the problem for me. (I am using MacBook Pro, chip: Apple M1 pro)
At first you have to update the setting of your Mac OS
System Preference >> security & privacy >> privacy tab >> Full disk access >> click on the lock icon >> checkmark for terminal
Sometime using this steps you are able to resolve the issue, but after this, if you are still facing issue, please use this link: #1030 (comment)
on macos. brew uninstall watchman
it works for me
npx react-native start --port=8088 resolved mine
There is only one solution at the moment. Move your project from the "Desktop" or "Documents" folder to the main folder (~/). None of the other ways worked for me.
This is because MacOS now asks for permissions for these folders (example in the image below). I guess this hasn't been added to the watchman yet.
As a temporary workaround, you can move your project to your home folder and it should run successfully.
To open your home folder, press Command-Shift-H.
(As of June 2022, there seems to be an issue with the 2022.05.30.00 version of Watchman, and this temporary solution is the only way I have been able to get around the issue.)
I wanted to try Moodle (LMS) on my computer. It requires intl extension.
I used sudo port install php71-intl and successfully installed php71-intl. But it also installed php71 and other dependencies on /opt/local/.
I am using Mac built-in php. Its directories are
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303
/usr/bin/php
I intended to copy the /opt/local/lib/php71/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/intl.so to /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303. But terminal said Operation not permitted.
I tried sudo pecl install intl but failed with make error.
This method sudo port install php71-intl can install the intl.so successfully but in its own direcotry.
So how I can copy the intl.so? Thank you!
You have to disable SIP to do that. First, restart your Mac and before OS starts up, hold down Command-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery. From the Utilities menu, select Terminal and at the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return: csrutil disable
Terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled. From the menu, select Restart. You can re-enable SIP by following the above steps, but using csrutil enable instead.
Find this file "environment.xml" and comment all lines that have "intl" and reload the page. Continue button appears and installation completes without any error. My instance started working like charm, I use it to test out and create courses with SCORM packages, no errors yet.
environment.xml file is located in "admin" folder of moodle directory
hope you having a good day.
I am a Web Frontend designer and i'm tired about MAC OSX El Capitan and his sick permissions systems on files and folders, the next is happening:
Every time that i tried to get any Bower package, NPM, or whatever console package i get this problem:
Example: 'Bower install angular-translate'
Console response:
'Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/carl/.config/configstore/bower-github.json'
You don't have access to this file.'
This is not just for this package in specific, it happend with everything that i tried to download/install in every place in my laptop.
I am the administrator on this machine, i been google that like 5 or 10 times always getting same results and always going to the same way (solutions like 'chmod-R 777* on the folder/file').
My question is the next:
There is some 'permanent' way to get all my files and folders 'global' administrator permissions no matter what? i mean, i know that is not secure, pero it is ok, i am the only one who use this laptop.
Thank you so much for your help.
Best Regards.
In order to solve the issue. I ran the command 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/' from the terminal. While inside the same terminal window, I then ran 'bower install' which solved my issue! Afterwards, I was able to install other packages(Ex. bower install bootstrap --save.
I am completely new to nodejs. I am trying to get nodejs to work on my Windows 2008 box in order to install Karma which I would use for TDDing my AngularJs code. I have done the following steps so far
Install using Chocolatey ==> npm is not recognised
Install using 64-bit nodejs installer from nodejs.org ==> npm is not recognised
At this stage, running where npm gives me c:\User\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\npm which has nothing in it
I figure out that nodejs is installed in C:\Program Files\nodejs. Opening a command prompt in this directory makes npm work fine.
So I added C:\Program Files\nodejs to PATH only to get the same error again that npm is not recognized
One of the github issues on nodejs repository says that I need to restart the machine and it would fix. But that has not helped so far
I do see a Node.js icon in my Start -> Programms mennu which takes me to nodejs console but not sure what to do with that.
Have I missed any important step in the process?
Edit
I figured out that if I open "Nodejs command prompt" from program files, then npm is recognized. How do I make it work on a normal command prompt?
Edit
After node I started facing a similar problem with another application. I posted this question on superuser and as rightly pointed out by the accepted answer, I had an additional quote in my PATH which was causing issues with all the paths added after the quote. I have a feeling that some Chocolatey install adds this troubling quote but I am just not sure which one.
Just add:
;C:\Program Files\nodejs\
To the end of your Path variable on the "User variable" section of the Environment Variables on the System Properties.
After that, reopen your command prompt and type
npm
This should work.
Don't forget to reboot your computer after installing node! That one got me.
If you are using VS Code, close VS code and open again.
I tried closing Terminal and then opening new Terminal but it didn't work.
Re-Starting VS Code works!
To elaborate on Breno's answer... For Windows 7 these steps worked for me:
Open the Control Panel (Click the Start button, then click Control Panel)
Click User Accounts
Click Change my environment variables
Select PATH and click the Edit... button
At the end of the Variable value, add ;C:\Program Files\nodejs
Click Ok on the "Edit User Variable" window, then click Ok on the "Environment Variables" window
Start a command prompt window (Start button, then type cmd into the search and hit enter)
At the prompt (C:\>) type npm and hit enter; you should now see some help text (Usage: npm <command> etc.) rather than "npm is not recognized..."
Now you can start using npm!
For Windows users: A picture tells a thousand words
Reference: npm not recognized as internal or external command (Note: this is my own blog)
Just Download and Install Node.js from here https://nodejs.org/en/
If you run the downloaded file and install it, they will automatically configure for your system
You don't need any other configurations anymore, now you can use the npm command anywhere
If the Nodejs is successfully installed and still displays the message like this:
'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Follow the steps below for Windows users:
Go to My Computer Properties
Click Advanced System Setting from the Left bar of a window.
Now you have a System Properties window. Click Advanced
Then, Click Environment Variable button
Now you have Environment variable window: From System Variable, Select Path
Click Edit
At the end of the Variable value, add ;C:\Program Files\nodejs\
Note: If you have installed nodejs on other drives then please act accordingly.
Click Ok all the open dialogue box
Very important Note: "Close your Command Prompt And Restart Again"
(It's very important because if you didn't restart your command prompt then changes will not be reflected.)
Now you can use the npm command anywhere
Don't forget to run cmd as admin.
I understand this question is really old and we have many answers, unfortunately, my scenario was different, thus a different solution.
If you started using nvm to manage the node versions after you install the node in your machine, most likely you will be facing the same issue.
I installed a version 10.15.3 and then I had to use another version as there is some tight dependency with one of my projects. Then I decided to install the nvm, while installing it asked, whether I need nvm to manage the version already installed on my machine which is 10.15.3. And yeah, I said Yes hoping that it will take care of that, unfortunately, it didn't.
I was always getting this error no matter I tried many other things mentioned in the other answers here, including setting the path. In the end, to fix that, these are the things I tried.
Uninstall the node version installed, for example, nvm uninstall 10.15.3
Make sure no other node versions are there, nvm list
Then, install the version needed, for example, nvm install 10.15.3. This should give you an output as preceding.
Downloading node.js version 10.15.3 (64-bit)...
Complete
Creating C:\Users\SibeeshVenu\AppData\Roaming\nvm\temp
Downloading npm version 6.4.1... Complete
Installing npm v6.4.1...
Installation complete. If you want to use this version, type
nvm use 10.15.3
PS C:\Users\SibeeshVenu> nvm use 10.15.3
Now using node v10.15.3 (64-bit)
Please note that from the above command, the npm is also installed.
Now use the version you need, nvm use 10.15.3 and type npm
I had the same problem described by Ashu, but in addition to that, the PATH entry for nodejs was terminated by a backslash:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\
I also had to remove that final backslash in order to have it work.
I faced the exact same issue and notice that after installing node.js there was a new path entry in the user variable section for PATH with value --> c:\User\\AppData\Roaming\npm. Also the Path entry in the system variable is appended with --> C:\Program Files\nodejs. Now since user variable has preference over system you have two options to fix this. Either delete the path from user variable or correct the right path (C:\Program Files\nodejs). Restart CMD and it should work.
Set aside all the tips, just run the following line in cmd
> SET PATH=C:\Program Files\Nodejs;%PATH%
If you're getting this error through a service account like Visual Studio TFS Build controller service or any other background service, make sure you restart the service after installing npm as the new PATH environment settings will not be picked up by those already running processes. I was getting same error through my build service but I had npm installed and running in the console.
You might have already received a response but this might help others since I experienced the same issue recently and this is what I did:
Added a path for Powershell. For me, the path was C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
Then, I opened the command prompt with administrative privileges and ran
#powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
Next, choco install nodejs
Restart and everything worked fine. Try opening the command prompt without admin privileges and run npm -v
Cheers.
Had the same problem on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Turns out i get that problem if I start cmd by typing it in the path bar at the top of a folder window or when i shift right click in a folder window and then open command prompt from the list.
When I run cmd using Run or Just from the cmd.exe executable it works.
I installed nodejs following this AngularJS tutorial. the npm command did work when I open a new cmd window but not in the current one.
So the fix was to close and open a new cmd window.
If the package is successfully installed and still shows the message "'npm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Click windows start button.
Look for "ALL APPS", you will see Node.js and Node.js Command prompt there.
You can run the Node.js Command prompt as administrator and soon as its run it will show the message "Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 6.3.0 (x64) and npm."
and then it works from there...
I ran into this issue as well. It turns out Windows doesn't enjoy single quotes on the command line. The culprit was one of my npm scripts. I changed the single quotes to escaped double quotes:
'npm -s run sass-build'
to
\"npm -s run sass-build\"
I'm updating this thread with a new answer because I've found the solution to my miserable situation after not less than a week ...
For those still experiencing the error even though they have their path value set properly, check your pathext variable to have the value (default value in windows 7 +) : .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC
Mine was to set only to : .BAT and changing it solved the problem. I wonder why nobody brought this up ...
Hope this helps!
If everything looks fine. I would advice to check this for PATHEXT .CMD must be added.
I don't know why most of user suggesting ; / in the command.
I solved this by removing ; and /
Before
;C:\Program Files\nodejs\
After Solution
C:\Program Files\nodejs
You need to save them into system PATH variables
I ran into this problem the other day on my Windows 7 machine. Problem wasn't my path, but I had to use escaped forward slashes instead of backslashes like this:
"scripts": {
"script": ".\\bin\\script.sh"
}
Step 1: install NodeJs
step 2: Set environment path
Step 3: Restart PC once
I installed Node.js and while trying to install Ionic and cordova using this piece of code:
npm install -g cordova ionic
I faced the above error. I added 'C:\Program Files\nodejs' to my Environment Variable 'PATH'. But still was unable to get over this issue. Turned out that my PATH variable was longer than 2048 characters and so I was unable to add the Nodejs path to it. I had to remove the path of another program and add the Nodejs path.
Close and reopen the cmd prompt and try to install Ionic again.
This worked for me.
for me adding path to PATH didn't do the trick.
Run c:\Program Files\nodejs\nodevars.bat instead, it will do the job for you
Well in my case doing testing via Mocha i tried everything just to realize i have to remove single quotes around my test case script tag inside package.json.
I am running mocha test case on all *.test.js files as can see below:
package.json
Before:
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha server/**/*.test.js",
"test-watch": "nodemon --exec 'npm run test'"
}
After(removing single quotes - npm run test):
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha server/**/*.test.js",
"test-watch": "nodemon --exec npm run test"
}
Worked for me, just in case someone else also gets stuck on this.
Check npm config by command:
npm config list
It needs properties: "prefix", global "prefix" and "node bin location".
; userconfig C:\Users\username\.npmrc
cache = "C:\\ProgramData\\npm-cache"
msvs_version = "2015"
prefix = "C:\\ProgramData\\npm"
python = "C:\\Python27\\"
registry = "http://registry.com/api/npm/npm-packages/"
; globalconfig C:\ProgramData\npm\etc\npmrc
cache = "C:\\ProgramData\\npm-cache"
prefix = "C:\\ProgramData\\npm"
; node bin location = C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
; cwd = C:\WINDOWS\system32
In this case it needs to add these paths to the end of environment variable PATH:
;C:\Program Files\nodejs;C:\ProgramData\npm;
If you used ms build tools to install node the path is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\NodeJs
You don't need to "install" Node.js. Just download the package from https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/ and extract the contents somewhere. Then, in a command prompt, you can navigate there using cd. Then you can run npm from that location. While you will have to do the cd C:\Users\YourAcct\Documents\node-v16.13.0-win-x64 or similar command before you can run it, it's a way to get it onto your computer and run npm without having to be an admin or editing environmental variables.
The issue is with system policy. I have tried the following comments in powers heel then it is started working
$> Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
$> npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
$> npm-windows-upgrade
I got this idea from the following link
After adding environment varible path restart your machine maybe this will work. it work for me. i was using vm.
