RangeError: Invalid typed array length: -4095

I downloaded the developer rig (on macos 10.14.1), and made it through configuration and run. The rig loaded up in chrome (70.0.3538.110) and I began to create my first extension. However when I clicked save, I got an error “fs.copyFileSync is not a function”

That seemed to be tied to me running an older version of Node, so I upgraded to 11.2.0. However, after that, when I try to run “run” I get the following error, preventing the rig from loading again.

$ ./run 
yarn run v1.12.3**

error Command failed with exit code 1.

Anyone else run into this?

If anyone else runs into this, it looks like an issue tied to Node 11.x. I downgraded to 10.x and resolved the problem.

Will try that and will let you know if that works.

same issue as before again about the failing to compile.

After downgrading. delete the node_modules folder and reinstall (start from the first setup instruction)

Some modules can build node version specifically

Downgrading to node 10x fixed the issue for me but ran into subsequent issues afterwards. :frowning:
