Huge Node/NPM crash in long-time used front-end project framework

Question

I have a Npm Gulp framework that has been used for well over a year now, however, since running some updates this week, every project that uses it no longer runs any of my gulp commands.

I have tried updating global gulp, checked version of Node (v10.6.0) and NPM (6.1.0) and spent the last few hours on StackOverflow and other online resources but a lot of proposed solutions have been tried and failed.

Xcode is installed, Command Line Tools is installed.

I am baffled as to what could have kicked this off, I'm not expecting a solution, but a point in the right direction would be tremendously helpful.

Here's my trace once I run npm i.

Upgrade your fsevents version in your package.json, that version seems to not support the version of Node.js that you are running (version 10).

Your best bet is to either downgrade your node version, or update your fsevents package to the latest version (1.2.4)

Good luck!

Not sure what was broken where, but to resolve this, I had to point the xcode-select developer directory to the right place with sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer.

Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the fsevents package. I realised this error mostly occurred from my attempt to fix the found 265 vulnerabilities noted at the bottom of the trace above.
