Hey There - First time forum poster. Recently joined Mattermost in a customer facing role. Setting up a local development environment on MacOS 10.14.2.

Following [webapp developer setup instructions](https://developers.mattermost.com/contribute/webapp/developer-setup/).

Seeing a couple errors when running `make test` under `$(go env GOPATH)/src/github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp`

```
39523 warn optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.4 (node_modules/fsevents):
39524 warn optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.4 install: `node install`
39524 warn optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Exit status 1
39525 verbose optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY:
39525 verbose optional Failed at the fsevents@1.2.4 install script.
39525 verbose optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
39526 verbose stack Error: cypress@3.1.3 postinstall: `node index.js --exec install`
39526 verbose stack Exit status 1

```

The tests all run and pass. So I’m not blocked, but am I going to have issues in the future? What is happening with this `cypress` install?

Did a `make clean` and then a `make build` and seemed to successfully get the `cypress` module. Maybe just network issue on my end when it was downloading
