npm install breaks on node 12 without any warning

Question

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 4 comments

I am aware that this project only supports node 14 but it should display a warning instead of failing with this vague error message :)

Issue was not closed by #19 (which applied to the development repo, not to the end-user installation)

@pantharshit00 is this still an issue on 0.3.12 for you? I think 0.3.4 might have just been an old release before the engines field was added

ah, my error is if you use yarn, which respects engines. npm apparently does not respect engines

We should investigate dropping the node requirement to v12 since many esm features have been back-ported.

That said, npm v7 fixes this, so I'm going to close the issue without action on our side.
