Please upgrade your version of Chokidar

[davidnewcomb]

Please can you upgrade your chokidar dependency. You are currently using 2.1.8 (which is also in the lock file) but the latest version 3.4.0. Projects upstream of you are starting to get warnings.
Also the little note about Chokidar breaking soon and having 15 times less dependencies should be reason enough!

warning react-scripts > webpack-dev-server > [email protected]: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies.
warning react-scripts > webpack-dev-server > chokidar > [email protected]: fsevents 1 will break on node v14+ and could be using insecure binaries. Upgrade to fsevents 2.
warning react-scripts > webpack > watchpack > watchpack-chokidar2 > [email protected]: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies.

Done for v4

I fixed it by downgrading Node to v12.

I don't think there is another way until webpack-dev-server upgrades Chokidar

I fixed it by downgrading Node to v12.

even that doesn't do it on mac catalina

Done for v4

this is absurd, why would you close this issue?

3.11 is your latest release this is still very much an issue and very much unresolved.

either release 4 or fix in 3.

this makes Angular projects unbuildable for a whole slew of platforms : Mac OSX catalina, CentOS 8, Fedora 32 and to the best of my knowledge a bunch of other linux distributions in their latest offerings.

how could you leave this as-is for four months?

As a workaround, you could add in the package.json

"resolutions": {
"webpack-dev-server/chokidar":"^3"
}

This will allow you to use custom package versions in your dependencies.
