[Stencil][SOLVED] Stencil npm install fsevents 404 not found

Stencil

I have just following the Getting Started from StencilJS

git clone https://github.com/ionic-team/stencil-app-starter my-app
cd my-app
git remote rm origin
npm install

And I noticed following error during the installation

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://fsevents-binaries.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1.1.2/fse-v1.1.2-node-v59-darwin-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for fsevents@1.1.2 and node@9.3.0 (node-v59 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

Anyone knows if it’s normal or should it be reported or do that only happens on my laptop and therefore there is maybe a fix?

Thx in advance for the help

Don’t know if it’s linked but yesterday there was a critical incident at npmjs respectively many packages were deleted. Also it seems the packages were restored.

I still face this 404 error, most probably not related actually.

Beginning at 18:36 GMT today, 106 packages were made unavailable from the registry. 97 of them were restored immediately. Unfortunately, people published over 9 of them, causing delays in the restoration of those 9. We are continuing to clean up the overpublications. All installations that depend on the 106 packages should now be working.

Ok so the problem is the following, I think:

To fix this problem, related to fsevents compatibility with node v9, it requires fsevents@1.1.3
Since one of the library is still requiring fsevents@1.1.2, I face this issue

This is solved in the ionic-pwa-toolkit project, I guess other project like stencil-app-starter gonna be updated soon too. Therefore I close this issue.
