Thx for mentioning this @mairin, did this cause anything to break for you or is it just a warning? What OS and version are you on? Do you see this when installing dependencies or when running a build?

Happy to help, just let me know how or if this presents any specific issues for you. Thx!

@seanforyou23 hey its unclear if anything broke or not, looks like it is an OS X specific module that uses FSEvents in OS X to watch directory changes. The Linux equivalent system is called inotify and it looks like there are a bunch of cross-platform file/directory watcher node modules that could perhaps be used in its place. I am not sure what functionality in patternfly requires this feature so I'm not sure how to test how it broke.

The error message is from installing deps; it's on a fully updated Fedora 30 workstation.

Ok great, thanks for this information it definitely helps. Let me queue up some time to dig into this. I do notice various warnings from time to time with some of the dev tools, most of which seem safe to ignore, but to your point, it's a fair indication that something somewhere isn't happy. I'll keep you posted, let me know if anything else unfolds on your end.

Is this still an issue ran this on Fedora 42 and there doesn't seem to be any problems.
