Fix “no such file or directory, scandir”

Celý článek

After 15+ years in the web development industry, and seeing the landscape of tooling change, I’ve really lost patience with tooling errors. Like…Old Man Walsh just wants yarn install to work so he can get on with his work day.

One recent error I ran into was from a dependency of a dependency:

$ node development/build/index.js dev
internal/fs/utils.js:307
    throw err;
    ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Users/myuser/Projects/metamask-extension/node_modules/node-sass/vendor'
    at Object.readdirSync (fs.js:1021:3)
    at Object.getInstalledBinaries (/Users/myuser/Projects/metamask-extension/node_modules/node-sass/lib/extensions.js:133:13)

}

Annoying as hell — I just want to work! After sifting through pages of obscure web forums, I was able to find a solution:

npm rebuild node-sass

The npm rebuild {package} call helped to fix the issue and got me back into the game!
