Nuxt.js: fsevents is not a constructor

I'm using MacOS Mojave 10.14.5. When I run 'npm run dev' command where the nuxt starter package is located, I have 'fsevents' error, and the server doesn't work.

I already reinstall node and npm several times, but it doesn't work.

Here's an error:

/Users/kimgyun/Desktop/nuxt_test_folder/nuxt_test_b/node_modules/watchpack/node_modules/chokidar/lib/fsevents-handler.js:28
return (new fsevents(path)).on('fsevent', callback).start();
          ^

How can I run this nuxt.js server without this error?

It's a problem with fs events, and a rather annoying one at that. Specifically this happens when you're using Node 12.

You'll need to install fsevents@1.2.9 explicitly:

npm i fsevents@1.2.9 -D

or

yarn add fsevents@1.2.9 -D

This should work for you at this point.
