ReferenceError: primordials is not defined (gulp 3 and nodejs 12)

tl;dr natives / graceful-fs@3.x / vinyl-fs >= 0.2.1, < 2.0.0 / gulp@^3.7.0 / fs-readfile-promise >= 1.1.0, < 2.0.1 / gulp-wrap >= 0.10.0, < 0.12.0 doesn't work on nodejs >= 12.

natives doesn't work on nodejs >= 12. Before 1.1.3 you get:

node[21]: ../src/node_contextify.cc:649:static void node::contextify::ContextifyScript::New(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>&): Assertion `args[1]->IsString()' failed.

After 1.1.3:

ReferenceError: primordials is not defined

I can't check the core dump right now but my guess would be that you have code somewhere, possibly in a dependency, that uses process.binding('contextify') directly.

nodejs/node#20281 (comment)

yes we changed the internal contextify script to be less lenient with what it accepts. you'll have to update any modules that use it, or better yet find alternatives that don't depend on node internals.

In 3.0.0 (2.1.0 to be precise, but this version was never published) graceful-fs started using the internal natives module. In 3.0.10 they decided to not reinvent the wheel, and added the natives package dependency. In 4.0.0 a better solution was found.

  1. npm install

So, there are nuances:

  • npm doesn't consider the resulting state correct and fixes it at the next opportunity, the opportunity arrives when it has to make changes (e.g. install a package)
  • you might want to specify fixed versions in package.json before running npm install, otherwise the corresponding packages will be updated (since npm-shrinkwrap.json takes priority)
  • there's probably no helping the nested dependencies
  • package-lock.json can be deleted afterwards, since npm-shrinkwrap.json takes priority
