I, too, am having the same problem. Also with updating.

• Node: 8.9.3
• Browser-Sync: 2.23.1
• Yarn: 1.3.2
• macOS: 10.13.2

When running yarn upgrade browser-sync and after removing, then running yarn add -D browser-sync, I got this both times:

The same here. It works until version 2.19.0. Any version higher it doesn't work anymore.

Update:
I can't add any new packages without this issue happening and it appears to revolve around Browser-Sync:

• Removing Browser-Sync allows me to install new packages without a problem
• Reverting to an older version of Browser-Sync (2.18.3) also allows me to install new packages without a problem

@dmbdesignpdx try this yarnpkg/yarn#5131 (comment).

After great patience, digging, and input from the Yarn team; there may be a simple fix. This issue might have to do with uws being out-of-sync with node-gyp.

Reinstall/install node-gyp by running npm install -g node-gyp and see if that takes care of it.

thanks for the update @dmbdesignpdx - it's a shame this has happened in the first place, and i'm seriously considering moving away from socket.io because of this.

I absolutely detest packages that require building in the environment they are installed - I understand why, but every time I've ever included such a package it's resulted in these types of issues :(

I believe uws is used when perf is an absolute must - but in reality Browsersync does not need screaming performance, no-where near in fact.

I upgraded yarn to 1.5.1. today and browser-sync installed without mistakes.
