ERROR watchman--no-pretty get-sockname when run np

Question

i know this error has been solved. I followed everything uninstall then reinstall. update and upgrade. run npm r -g watchman... but all fail when try to run npm start

I suspect because my LaunchAgents on macbook has been interrupted. this is what I get when run

ls -ld ~/Library/LaunchAgents

lrwxr-xr-x  1 infacq  staff  46 Aug 16 11:03 /Users/infacq/Library/LaunchAgents -> /usr/local/opt/mysql/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

anyone experience this?

Answer 1

Same as the issue here

Try reinstalling watchman:

npm r -g watchman 
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install watchman

I had to reinstall libtool as well

brew reinstall libtool --universal && brew unlink libtool && brew link libtool

If you get a permission error during the libtool process while trying to do the following

brew link pcre 

Error: Could not symlink share/man/man3/pcre.3
/usr/local/share/man/man3 is not writable.

Then you'll need to update your permissions as outlined here

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local

Answer 2

I think you need to:

rm /Users/infacq/Library/LaunchAgents

You may also need to:

mkdir /Users/infacq/Library/LaunchAgents

but you may need to fix the permissions on that dir so that others cannot write to it
