Q&A

`if (cb) cb.apply(this, arguments)`

[!NOTE|style:callout] reference:

How I fixed a "cb.apply is not a function" error while using Gitbook

issue

$ gitbook serve
Live reload server started on port: 35729
Press CTRL+C to quit ...

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs/polyfills.js:287
      if (cb) cb.apply(this, arguments)

TypeError: cb.apply is not a function
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs/polyfills.js:287:18

solution:

raw polyfills.js

62   fs.stat = statFix(fs.stat)
63   fs.fstat = statFix(fs.fstat)
64   fs.lstat = statFix(fs.lstat)

fix polyfills.js

62   // fs.stat = statFix(fs.stat)
63   // fs.fstat = statFix(fs.fstat)
64   // fs.lstat = statFix(fs.lstat)

solution: downgrade the nodejs to 12.x.x

purge nodejs

$ brew uninstall node
$ brew doctor
$ brew cleanup --prune-prefix

re-install node@12

$ brew install node@12
