gulp task issue with nodejs v10.3.0 : src\node_contextify.cc:629: Assertion `args[1]->IsString()' failed

Question

I recently updated my nodejs version to 10.30.0. Everything works fine. But my gulp build task not working which was working fine on older version(9.X). This is what I am getting.

 gulp[11376]: src\node_contextify.cc:629: Assertion `args[1]->IsString()' failed.
 1: node::DecodeWrite
 2: node::DecodeWrite
 3: uv_loop_fork
 4: v8::internal::interpreter::BytecodeDecoder::Decode
 5: v8::internal::RegExpImpl::Exec
 6: v8::internal::RegExpImpl::Exec
 7: v8::internal::RegExpImpl::Exec
 8: 00000384E1284281

Somebody, please help me.

Solution 1

Just run command

npm install natives

Solution 2

I have had two different solutions work in two different workspaces. The first after updating to node 10.6.0 required me to use this method:

$rm -rf node_modules
$rm -rf package-lock.json
$npm cache clean
$npm install

The second workspace wouldn't work with the above, though I did try it first, it required me to reinstall all my gulp dependencies then run npm audit fix. For example:

$npm install --dev gulp gulp-sass gulp-autoprefixer
$npm audit fix

Hope this helps someone.

Solution 3

node version compatible problem, try use node version<=9.11.2.

Solution 4

I had the same issue. Deleting node_modules and re-running npm install, to re-install the modules listed in package.json, did work for me.

Solution 5

Just run these two commands.

1. remove node_modules folder

rm -r node_modules

2. And Install only natives dependencies.

npm install natives

unfortunately, it is not working for me. I switched back to old version for running build

I think they fixed this issue on 10.7.0 It is working now`

This did it for me. I then ran npm install afterwards and all worked. I'm running node 10.9.0.

+ npm install + npm audit fix was required to get gulp working again.

You may need to do an additional npm cache clean --force and then npm install and then npm install natives. That was the combination in my case.

this is what actually works. switched to 9.4.0 from >= 10.1. "npm install natives" didn't do it.

Bear in mind that this is far from an ideal solution. Read the warning about the use of this package on it's NPM page: npmjs.com/package/natives The real solution to this is probably to upgrade to current versions of Node and node-sass.

with later versions of node you have to use $npm cache clean --force to delete the cache, or on Windows, delete the C:\user\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache folder. This fixed the issue for me

For me ( node -v => 10.15.1 ) works: npm cache clean --force then npm install, but without npm install natives ( installing natives throwing another error )

I was receiving this error with a project using Visual Studio 2019 v16.1.0. Running npm install natives as per this answer solved the problem. Thanks.

[Chris Schaller]

npm install natives didn't immediately solve my problems, but thanks @dwilli manually deleting folders and following this solution's advice worked for me

[Jigar]

its worked for me .... thank you so much. wasted 2+ hours and finally, just single command solved an issue.

This actually fixed my issue after spending entire day!
