Question

macOs Catalina - “fse.node” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. While doing npm run dev or watch

On macOS Catalina 10.15.3, I am getting the below error message while running npm run dev or npm run watch. It seems like something to do with nodejs but no idea know how to resolve it.

“fse.node” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

Go to System preferences > Security & privacy > General and you should see a "Allow anyway" button below. Click. That's it. (When that info box appear on screen)

You may need repeat this action couple of times.

The accepted answer worked for me, but I had to click on "cancel" for the option "Allow anyway" to appear in system preferences.

So if you don't see the "Allow Anyway" button, try clicking "cancel" on the popup.
