Error: `fsevents` unavailable (this watcher can only be used on Darwin) in CRA v2.1.7 and craco v3.5.0


I am getting the above error while running jest v23 in a monorepo. The package i am running jest on is built on CRA and craco. Package.json of my CRA

I checked my node_modules and it has fsevents installed. Still getting the error. Most common solution which I found was reinstalling node_modules after deleting yarn.lock but this solution isn't working for me. Neither installing watchman worked. I am using jestConfig of CRA itself


Solution

  • Solved this issue by installing brew and then doing brew install watchman on my mac.
