Failed Deployment to render on windows 11

1

I want to deploy a mern app to render but I’ve been getting this error response. I’m using windows 11.
It’s over two weeks now, I’m totally frustrated and fedup
npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for fsevents@2.3.2: wanted {“os”:“darwin”,“arch”:“any”} (current: {“os”:“linux”,“arch”:“x64”})

Hey,

The package you’re using in your project: fsevents [https://www.npmjs.com/package/fsevents] is tailored for MacOS and won’t work on Render as we use Linux machines to deploy your service.

What can I do?
Is there any solution?

You would need to use a Linux alternative like inotifywait and then create a child_process in Node to replicate the same behavior:

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const watcher = spawn('inotifywait', ['-r', '-m', '/path/to/directory']);

watcher.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`stdout: ${data}`);
});

watcher.stderr.on('data', (data) => {
  console.error(`stderr: ${data}`);
});

watcher.on('close', (code) => {
  console.log(`child process exited with code ${code}`);
});

That’s my best guess, you may be able to find other alternatives.
