I've just imported my Reactjs project to a new machine on Ubuntu and installed most dependencies with npm install successfully bar the following:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /react-scripts/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not patible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected]
npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /chokidar/fsevents:
npm WARN notsup Not patible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected]

Trying to run the project with npm start fails with:

Running the same scripts on my original machine, a Mac, succeed.

I've tried re-installing node/npm which do not fix the issue. Is the supposedly optional dependency causing this to fail?

Any help is appreciated.

• And what is at /root/17-visit-booker-frontend/node_modules/react-scripts/scripts/start.js:33, line 33? – James Hatton Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 17:03
• Lines 33 - 38: const { choosePort, createCompiler, prepareProxy, prepareUrls, } = require('react-dev-utils/WebpackDevServerUtils'); where the only thing occupying line 33 is const { and each ma-separated item is on a new line. – Shiri Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 17:05
• Although this referenced line will change depending on what script I run but will always fail when it hits a curly brace. It then fails with a SyntaxError and quotes the above stack trace which is identical no matter what script it fails on. Running npm run build causes it to plain with : /root/17-visit-booker-frontend/node_modules/react-scripts/scripts/build.js:60 ({ stats, previousFileSizes, warnings }) => { and points at the first occurrence of a curly brace. – Shiri Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 17:08

Sorted by: Reset to default 10

You're using node.js v4 which does not by default support destructuring syntax (the const {field1, field2, ....} = object) that it is failing on.

You have two options:

1. Install a newer version of Node.js
2. Run node with the harmony flags that will enable this feature in version 4.x.
