I've had this issue countless times during the processes of running the dev environment
Downgrading the nodejs version to 12.22.0 removes the error.

Declan MiddletonAug 29, 2022Yes, I've agreed to these use cases, using this as an option because other packages still require 12.22.0

And why don't you update those packages as well? 😅
Updating project dependencies is a recurring task (once a week, once a month...) to fix possible vulnerabilities and not something you do by fashion.

Sorry for the "mis reply"
Like I said before "I've agreed to these use cases". The known packages that I've been using require 12.22.0 node version for compatibility using their library. I don't agree with it, I have to integrate it otherwise.
Noo don't do that! 😱 Running outdated versions is always harmful in a way or another check this
Use always the latest LTS (Long Term Support) which is the production, stable version (this is applied to any software).
Instead of getting the "latest" which at the time of writting that is the experimental
18.7.0, use the16.16.0 LTS.You can use NVM (Node Version Manager) to handle that easily:
nvm install --lts // installs the latest Node LTS versionnvm ls // list installed versions of Nodenvm use 16.16.0 // make that specific version the default one for your runtimeCheck it and come back to add some feedback and see if the latest LTS worked as well (it'll probably do) and add more information if it doesn't (dependencies, dev dependencies, OS...)
Also you can add the tag #help
Best regards
