SyntaxError when using v10.5.2 on node v14.16.1

DonCziken opened this issue a year ago · 11 comments

I've encountered following issue when using latest version of the module (v10.5.2) and following node/npm set up

node: v14.16.1
npm: v6.14.12

npm i minify -g
minify abc.html > minified/abc.html
cat > minified/abc.html
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '??='
    at Loader.moduleStrategy (internal/modules/esm/translators.js:145:18)

I could fix the problem by:

falling back to earlier version of module (tested with v9.1.0)
using more recent node/npm (tested with v21.1.0/v10.2.1)

While I am aware that it's extremely complex to ensure backward compatibility in node environments, however I wonder if maybe you could introduce some warnings or supported version constraints for newer versions, so when using specific node I won't use version which is not compatible with it.

cheers,
Krzysztof

I face the exact same issues with JS files, under v.10.5.2

As an example you can try this file before and after minifization: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/flatpickr/dist/flatpickr.js

Please use latest version of node.js, node v14 and node v16 are end of life. Anyways a new option can be introduced, but it wan’t be a node.js version.

I tested that with node 20.9

Could you please provide minimal example of code that has issues with Minify

Answer 5 · 2023-11-10T08:08:19.000Z

for me it was literally any .html file and just minfy file.html > out.html, tough I guess @sakiss example is more important here.

Anyway, @coderaiser thanks for looking up at the issue.
