Ah looks like node v8.2.1 works.

akila5893 · 2017-11-03T06:20:56Z

I had the same issue. When i reverted to the older version of node js,the problem got solved.

cerniuk · 2017-11-06T12:24:50Z

Still happening in v8.9.0.

npm ERR! Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'

Although nodejs seemed to install without errors.

gurtajkhatra · 2017-11-08T16:10:54Z

I had this issue, I fixed it by dropping down my node version (to 6.2.2 in my case), updating npm, and then going back to Node v9.0.0.

ImTheDeveloper · 2017-11-08T20:42:16Z

I'm using nvm I'm wondering if I need to clear out remove something after dropping down the versions of node to then run the npm update. I've tried just dropping and running the update but I still get the same error.

ifredom · 2017-11-09T08:07:36Z

I found the cause of the problem.This problem occurs if the default path of the command line is set in the registry again

ImTheDeveloper · 2017-11-09T08:14:15Z

How do you fix that? 😂 I'm using ubuntu fwiw

I fixed it like this (Windows):
It turned out I had an old version of npm.exe in C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin
Just run npm.exe install -g npm and it fixed it

aromot · 2017-11-12T17:22:34Z

On Windows, this is how it sorted out:

Go to \global_modules\node_modules,
Delete the "npm" folder and all its contents,
Go to https://nodejs.org,
Download the "Recommended For Most Users" version (currently 8.9.1 LTS),
Install it

This worked for me on Win7.

ImTheDeveloper · 2017-11-12T17:23:55Z

Anyone have instructions for Ubuntu. I would assume same deal remove node modules and start over?👊👍

After upgrade to OS X 10.13.1 it started failing.

brew upgrade node - fixed the issue

johnsonsamuel · 2017-11-15T11:42:38Z

I am having the same issue on Mac. My tests are failing.

Error: Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'

node version : v8.9.1
npm : 5.5.1

Any help would be appreciated.

wema1043 · 2017-11-16T13:52:03Z

@mmilenkovic
whats your node version?

I'm running OS X 10.13.1 and node 8.9.1 but still having this issue

mmilenkovic · 2017-11-16T13:54:05Z

@wema1043

node version : v8.9.0
npm : 5.5.1

wema1043 · 2017-11-16T14:22:49Z

got it with Node v6.2.2

tingtaox · 2017-11-16T19:36:05Z

I solved it by reinstalling nodejs.

robertsLando · 2017-11-17T08:45:51Z

I have solved it in this way:

sudo npm cache clean
sudo n 6.12.0
sudo npm uninstall npm -g
rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/npm*
//if you are using a raspberry with node-red installed run this command to reinstall npm and node
update-nodejs-and-nodered 
//OR run this command to reinstall manually
sudo apt install nodejs npm

radoslavpetranov · 2017-11-17T19:33:40Z

Having the same issue on windows 8.1 with node 8.9.1 and 9.2.0. Downgrading to node 6.12 solves the problem. Complete uninstall/installs don't. How can possibly a stable node version be released like that?

emcodest · 2017-11-23T14:14:52Z

I solved this by reinstalling bower. And running bower install

remy · 2017-11-24T09:03:34Z

Closing. This seems to be related to cached node_modules between version changes.

eternalsayed · 2017-11-26T16:41:04Z

For those who're facing this issue on ionic projects after updating to Mac Sierra 10.13, know that the problem is with ionic CLI (v1.7.16). I was facing issue while creating builds using the normal ionic command
ionic build android
and I was getting

Error: Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:542:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:472:25)

    at Module.load (module.js:560:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:503:12)

Cannot find module 'internal/util/types' (CLI v1.7.16)

The solution is, instead of using ionic commands, use the cordova commands directly, like,
cordova build android
Hope that helps someone.

hugomenesesp · 2017-11-26T18:42:46Z

@eternalsayed same problem here, same workaround!

Could you resolve how to do ionic serve?

eternalsayed · 2017-11-26T18:47:23Z

I'm using ionic serve with --nolivereload and besides it is showing me following warning, it is not failing:

✗ (node:733) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

hugomenesesp · 2017-11-26T19:12:17Z

@eternalsayed didn't work for me (in High Sierra), same output:

eternalsayed · 2017-11-26T21:17:56Z

It was working for me because I hadn't stopped my ionic serve during all of my hunt for solution, but it is failing for me too now. That makes the two of us with the issue.
Let me know if you find a work around for ionic serve now. :(

eternalsayed · 2017-11-26T21:38:47Z

Okay, so what I did to fix my issue is, uninstalled my ionic-cli and installed the latest version. That fixed the issues.
Do note that in latest version of ionic, commands execute with ionic cordova instead of ionic only, with exception of ionic serve.

npm uninstall -g ionic-cli
npm install -g ionic@latest

remy · 2018-01-15T13:11:59Z

https://github.com/remy/nodemon/blob/master/faq.md#error-cannot-find-module-internalutiltypes this isn't a nodemon issue, it's npm, but others have had success with that faq item.

ninazhang · 2018-01-31T05:53:19Z

I had this issue,I fixed it by dropped down my node version to 6.12.0

solve it for me

dorothyDorothy · 2018-02-09T10:14:37Z

I found that I can use npm version 9.0.0 but I had to uninstall gulp-sass and then reinstall it. All was fine after that

uDude · 2018-02-12T18:38:15Z

On Ubuntu, if you've installed your own copy of node you'll need to clean everything up. So remove node and npm. Then get rid of the node_modules directory... in my case

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules

For others use find or locate to discover where your node_modules directories may be:

    sudo find / -name "node_modules" --print 2>/dev/null

I also removed my .npm directory in my home dir: rm -rf ~/.npm.

Note, it may be suitable to just remove the npm subdirectories from node_modules directories above, but I did not test this. I just went for clean then I reinstalled the same version of node that was giving me the problems. In my case that was 8.9.4LTS, with the normal make install.

artemv · 2018-03-07T18:09:19Z

I started to have this issue after another upgrade of Node (from 8.5.6 to 8.10.0 in my case) with n. Following fixed it for me (needs yarn to be installed):

rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
yarn global add npm@5.6.0 #put your desired version of npm here

schmendrick · 2018-03-20T16:51:38Z

on windows 7, i fixed the problem by going to
C:\Users\my.username\AppData\Roaming\npm and deleting the node_modules folder. afterwards i could run "npm install" without problems.

using

node v9.8.0
npm v3.5.3

MWalid · 2018-03-26T09:00:35Z

Hello, why don't you try:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

nmontmarquette · 2018-03-29T19:09:16Z

On OSX High Sierra / Brew Installed, similar to @artemv and others:

brew uninstall nodejs
sudo rm -rdf cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
brew install nodejs

zhulin2609 · 2018-04-26T09:20:38Z

maybe you have multiple versions graceful-fs

npm list graceful-fs
rm invalid's graceful-fs
npm install

elewin · 2018-05-01T17:06:25Z

I was running into this too with Ionic, and tried all of the remedies above and nothing worked. Then, just to see what would happen, I ran yarn and it fixed it all up for me (I already had it installed for something else)

Ionic CLI 2.2.1
Node 8.9.4
Yarn 1.5.1
Win 10

chevybowtie · 2018-05-24T02:39:02Z

For my Mac, I had to remove node/npm/npm settings/reinstall node LTS/Cordova -- only 1 sudo command should be required.

remove node and global node_modules

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/{npm*,node*,man1/node*}

remove npm user settings from your profile

rm -rf ~/.npm
rm -rf ~/.npm-global
rm -rf ~/.npmrc
nano ~/.profile      <-- remove any path additions regarding NPM and save

install NVM

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash

install Node LTS with NVM

nvm install --lts

update ionic project by removing any previous node_modules, reinstall ionic/cordova

cd {project path}
rm -rf node_modules
npm install -g ionic cordova

finally, add iOS platform works...

cordova platform add ios

All of this setup my Mac with the following versions:

cli packages: (/Users/{xxxxxx}/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.2/lib/node_modules)

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0

global packages:

    cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0 

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.9
    Cordova Platforms  : ios 4.5.4
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.3.0

System:

    Node  : v8.11.2
    npm   : 5.6.0 
    OS    : macOS High Sierra

aromot · 2019-03-12T18:37:04Z

@josuper The "global_modules" folder is located at the root of your NodeJS installation. I can't tell where it is exactly, I'm using a custom folder instead of the default path proposed by the installation.

Upgrading the node version to the stable one worked for me.
npm cache clean -f
npm install n stable -g
npm cache clean -f

GokhanMaden · 2020-02-03T10:56:40Z

I know it's closed but i want to add a alternative solution for this problem.

Yes, node version update works every time. Because it's related with npm package version. Real problem is npm version to old for this. You can update npm version with node version. For example: nodejs.org download page said that: "Latest LTS Version: 12.14.1 (includes npm 6.13.4)". If you uninstall npm in your global and after that install again, you will fix this issue.
