node 12.18.3 fails with TypeError: cb.apply is not a function in graceful-fs #34529
Description
Activity
See nodejs/help#2871, nodejs/help#2874, #34162, etc. – you’re using an outdated version of npm. Updating the
npmin your source tree (or updating thegraceful-fswithin it) should help here.Reacted by KeyulThank you for your quick response. I've been using npm 6.14.5 . Upgrading to 6.14.7 (npm@latest) does not help here. The error persists with node 12.18.3 and vanishes as soon as I go back to 12.18.2 . graceful-fs is already on the latest version 4.2.4. So I believe one of the numerous changes between 12.18.2 and 12.18.3 causes the issue on my platform. I also tried npm 6.14.6 (mentioned as dependency in node 12.18.3) but I get the same error. Could this be specific to my platform or kernel version, perhaps a timing issue? Pls let me know if I can provide some additional information for reproducing/debugging.

MarcelI have the same problem
@addaleax I know you may be hesitant to reopen this bug due to prior similar issues with npm and graceful-fs and I've seen them and encountered those issues myself, so I have reasons to believe its a new bug. Please hear me out if not for me but for hundreds of others who experiences the same issue, but do not report.
I've faced the same bug and updated to latest npm and pinned graceful-fs to the latest version in the yarn.lock and it didnt help. The only fix which worked is to downgrade to node
12.18.2. I'm together with @milProg and think that its a new bug and it is something else.Project I struggled with is my company ui kit https://github.com/nordnet/ui/ with semantic-release enabled and as soon 12.8.3 was released and picked by travis release process broke.
Here is the verifiable points concluded from my investigation of broken releases of our ui kit:
- graceful-fs pined to 4.2.4 https://github.com/nordnet/ui/blob/master/yarn.lock#L7956-L7957
- latest npm https://github.com/nordnet/ui/blob/master/.travis.yml#L9
- 3.5.0 release job is green with (node v12.18.2) of this 5c735e commit of July 16. you can find this commit on the second page of commits in the repo
- the very next 3.6.0 release job is red with (node v12.18.3) of this 59ad6c commit of July 24 (the day node 12.18.3 was released). you can also find it on the 2nd page of this repo commits page
- every attempt to fix the release job was futile, until I tried to downgrade node version to node v12.18.2 and it worked as you can see from latest travis builds for this repo
Reacted by Roni Castro, Debjeet Biswas, Shashank R and alex-b-efReacted by Mohamed Mehdi Gara and alex-b-ef@iamstarkov The problem is the
semantic-release@16.0.0-beta.18(hardcoded in your package.json, no semver range) →@semantic-release/npm@^5.2.0-beta.5→npm@6.5.0(also hardcoded, no semver range) dependency chain. Simply upgrading your dependencies should be enough. You may not want to rely on beta versions of tools anyway.Reacted by Paul MeleroI will definitely upgrade away from beta in the future.
Can you elaborate a bit more why this dependency chain is a problem? I don't understand why it stopped working in latest patch release of node. It's a patch release not a minor or a major one.
@iamstarkov Right, but
graceful-fs(which is not just a dependency ofnpm, it’s actually shipped as part of thenpmpackage) depends on Node.js internals in a way that does not follow semver. In particular, in this case, we started using a custom option for a file system operation inside of Node.js itself, and the monkey-patchedfsmodule fromgraceful-fsdid not recognize that option in earlier versions.- added a commit that references this issue
on Aug 11, 2020 Just a FYI, I am having similar problem with node 12 as well as 14 alpine docker containers.
After upgrading my Raspberry Pi 4 today, my nodered app stopped operating. I get the error
TypeError: cb.apply is not a function
at ~/.node-red/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs/polyfills.js:287:18
at FSReqCallback.oncomplete (fs.js:169:5)
nodered.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
nodered.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
I then went back to 12.18.0 - which operates flawlessly, then to 12.18.2 with npm 6.14.5, this also works as expected.
npm list
/root
├─┬ @iekedemus/vulgar-fraction@1.0.0
│ └── greatest-common-divisor@1.0.0
├── graceful-fs@4.2.4
└── jsonata@1.8.3
Steps that caused the problem:
apt upgrade / apt update / npm update to current versions
Remarks:
I think this is a very recent issue but I do not know if I could reproduce it just by updating nodered. 25 packages were updated, including kernel and system firmware.
