node-gyp rebuild failed on MacOS

[realdennis]

• Node Version: node v10.4.0 npm 6.1.0
• Platform: MacOS
• Compiler: Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.25.5)
• Module:

Verbose output (from npm or node-gyp):

> node-gyp rebuild

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

Some strange behavior: When I use the npm script to run the node-gyp would rebuild failed, but ./node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js will run ok.

$ xcode-select -p
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

You can ignore that xcode-select error; if you upgrade node-gyp, you won't even see it. What's the actual build error?

This is #1454 fixed by #1455.

[bnoordhuis]

Yep, if you upgrade to 3.6.3 or 3.7.0 things should work. I'll go ahead and close this out but let me know if you still have issues after upgrading.

I just had this problem. After some diagnosis, I was able to just update the version for node-gyp inside the package-lock.json.

I've never had to edit the file directly before, but mine was throwing the exact same error as the one posted here by realdennis.

Mine was node-sassfailing and it was depending on node-gyp v3.3.

Here is the code inside my package-lock.json for reference and context:

        "node-sass": {
            "version": "4.7.2",
            "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/node-sass/-/node-sass-4.7.2.tgz",
            "integrity": "sha512-CaV+wLqZ7//Jdom5aUFCpGNoECd7BbNhjuwdsX/LkXBrHl8eb1Wjw4HvWqcFvhr5KuNgAk8i/myf/MQ1YYeroA==",

                "gaze": "^1.0.0",
                "get-stdin": "^4.0.1",
                "glob": "^7.0.3",

                "lodash.clonedeep": "^4.3.2",
                "lodash.mergewith": "^4.6.0",
                "meow": "^3.7.0",
                "mkdirp": "^0.5.1",
                "nan": "^2.3.2",
                "node-gyp": "^3.7.0",
                "npmlog": "^4.0.0",
                "request": "~2.79.0",
                "sass-graph": "^2.2.4",
                "stdout-stream": "^1.4.0",
                "true-case-path": "^1.0.2"
            },

I simply changed it from 3.3 to 3.7 and my npm install was able to complete successfully.

[aguynamedben]

I'm seeing this with:

• node-gyp 3.8.0
• Node 10.2.0

I don't have XCode installed, but I do have the Command Line Tools installed. It seems like node-gyp is having an issue determining something about the XCode environment (xcode_emulation.py).

I'm installing XCode and will try after that.

Any ideas?

@aguynamedben

I'm having the same issue with macOS version: High Sierra, 10.13.6, Node v11.0.0 when running npm rebuild node-sass. Let me know if you've managed to fix it somehow.

[aguynamedben]

@csergiu Can't figure it out. Have been trying various things for 1.5 days now.

@richardlau @bnoordhuis Any ideas? Should this be reopened?

[aguynamedben]

It looks like yesterday Apple released some updates to High Sierra and Command Line Tools... going to try them now and post back if it's still happening.

Yesterday I was also trying with only Command Line Tools installed, now I've installed full XCode, so that will also be impacting my 2nd attempt.

[richardlau]

What is the output of xcodebuild -version?

[csergiu]

@aguynamedben are you running it from an IDE terminal by any chance? it seems to work for me now if I run it from iTerm, not sure what bins RubyMine was using.

[spjsschl]

What is the output of xcodebuild -version?
For me it is:

$ xcodebuild -version
xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance
