Hi,

I just upgraded node to it's latest version (6.0.0) and when lifted my sails app i got this error:

error: Grunt :: (node:6532) 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.

Any ideas what it could be?

Why is this closed. The linked issue is closed too.

I am having this problem as well.

Sorry all, seems like my previous comment didn't post for some reason.

The error message is a little cryptic, but it says it all: the module in question is probably not compatible with Node 6. You can try wiping your node_modules folder, then doing npm cache clean followed by npm install to see if it helps, but the only real solution until new versions come out is probably to downgrade your Node version to something less bleeding edge, or remove the watch task from tasks/register/default.js.

Thanks @sgress454
for me i think i'll just remove the watch task as I kind of researching with Node 6.

For anyone else that stumbles on this. I noticed that I don't get the error when lifting as root
sudo sails lift

Me too ...

This is a warning that the program will break in Node 7. See nodejs/node#5102. A dependency is probably using graceful-fs@<4.

I'm having this problem as well. This seems to be causing grunt to not inject the dependency files now. Is anyone else having that problem?

running 'npm update graceful-fs' doesnt do anything. I'm thinking updating the top level npm packages will help with the following:

npm update grunt
npm update grunt-contrib-watch

any thoughts before I do this and break my system?
