Node.js v17.0.1

Prerequisites

NodeJS version v17.0.1
Docusaurus newest version 2.0.0-beta.8

  • I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
  • I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
  • I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
  • I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io
  • I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable)

Description

After upgrading Node.js to the newest version (v17.0.1), then creating a new Docusaurus project following the instructions on this page, the project was created successfully but failed when being started with npm start. It seems that there is an error related to Nodejs's crypto module causing the start of the Docusaurus app crashed.

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

YES

Steps to reproduce

Use https://new.docusaurus.io to create a CodeSandbox reproducible demo of the bug.

As we don't know eactly which Node's version CodeSandbox is using, this step is skipped.

  1. Step 1... Upgrade NodeJS to the newest version v17.0.1
  2. Step 2... Create a new Docusaurus project npm init docusaurus@latest mydocs
  3. Step 3... cd into mydocs directory and run npm start (currently this command fails to start the app)

Expected behavior

Should be able to start up the app

Your environment

  • Public source code:
  • Public site URL:
  • Docusaurus version used: 2.0.0-beta.8
  • Environment name and version (e.g. Chrome 78.0.3904.108, Node.js 10.17.0): Node.js 17.0.1
  • Operating system and version (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS): Windows 10

BTW as a temporary solution you can use export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && npm start for now.

At Remotion we managed to fix it using:

  1. Setting output.hashFunction to "xxhash64"
  2. Upgrading to Webpack 5.60.0

Hello all,

I was able to reproduce the same issue with latest Docusaurus (2.0.0-beta.14). When I updated the Docusaurus along with the Node.js 17 bump on GitHub Actions pipeline (we use Ubuntu latest), the CI job started to fail.

When I added the suggested workaround (capactio/website@b5155b9), the pipeline succeeded (https://github.com/capactio/website/runs/4801264332?check_suite_focus=true).

I don't have any issues on macOS Monterey 12.1. Is it something on my end or the bug is still there?

Cheers!

@pkosiec try to re-gen your lockfile and look for older versions of webpack in node modules. If you are using a newer webpack it should work

Thank you @slorber for your help! While I had correct webpack version in node_modules on my machine, apparently the lockfile caused downloading older webpack on GitHub Actions pipeline. Removing and generating it again helped 👍
