Nuxt.js 1.x requires node >=8 and npm >=5

cf. package.json https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/blob/dev/package.json#L56

My https socket server is not working with a node version > 6.11 so what should I do?

[Zip753]

@Duzbee I guess this is the issue of HTTPS socket server then, not Nuxt.js. Or you could roll back to 0.x, which is most probably less favourable :confused:

[PTiCA1]

Update node to version 8 helped. Thanks for the help.

[tonyrewin]

firebase functions is node 6-only

[fredgig]

I am also getting this issue while trying to run firebase deploy on my nuxt project. Firebase functions are only compatible with node 6 while nuxt is compatible with node 8+, so downgrading to node 6 is not an option for me.

Anyone else having this problem?

[karan432]

facing the same issue, is there a workaround??

[Imanullah]

I solve this problem by using last version nuxt in firebase function deploy

here package.json

node version : v8.0.0

npm version : 5.0.0

nuxt version : 1.4.0

[sschadwick]

I'm getting this issue as well, but only when I attempt to build in a non-public dir. Everything works great when I build at ~/ however it fails at /var/task.

[NicoPennec]

@MarineLB try to upgrade your node.js version to the latest 8 LTS (currently v8.11)

[mesqueeb]

I have the same issue with firebase deploy on my nuxt project.
Firebase functions are only compatible with node 6
Nuxt is compatible with node 8+...

What a dilemma...... What should I choose? My project uses both Nuxt and Firebase, so I can't choose one of two...

[clarkdo]

@mesqueeb
Do you have any problem using Node 8 with firebase ?

Per firebase's engine and ci jobs(current stable node version is 10.1.0), I think firebase supports node 8.

[WuJiangquan]

solve it by using node v8.11.2

[dvruette]

@clarkdo Unfortunately Google Cloud Functions, which Firebase Functions run upon only supports Node 6.11.5. It fails to run the async/await code used in the Nuxt module.

Is there maybe a way to compile Nuxt itself to es6 code using Babel or something? This is really kinda my last resort here.

[clarkdo]

@meta7x
In current dev branch, we have a nuxt-legacy which is an alternative nuxt entry and transpiled from Babel, maybe we’ll consider to add cli support on it for supporting the legacy node versions.
/cc @Atinux @pi0

[pi0]

The latest build of nuxt-edge supports Node 6.x again by automatically falling back to the legacy build.

PS: Don't forget to add babel-polyfill dependency to your project if you need legacy build.

[dvruette]

Make sure to check your Node and Nuxt version. For Nuxt 1.4.0 you need at least Node 8.0.0.
Also, did you use the starter template?

[jefrydco]

@pi0 I deployed a project using nuxt-edge and the firebase function log telling me there is a problem with babel-polyfill. This is the error

2018-06-14T12:43:26.094Z D jefrydcossr: Code in file index.js can't be loaded.

But when I serve locally, it worked.

[janzheng]

@meta7x node 8 worked, thanks for the help! Was using the starter template.

This page: https://nuxtjs.org/guide/installation really needs to specify that nuxt only runs on node 8 though, as not running the right version of node is breaking. Tha

As a side note, it's unfortunate how much of a pain it is to switch or upgrade node on the Mac. (and how nvm is its own little nightmare to install and use)

[dvruette]

@janzheng I'm using n on a Mac and the version switching works like a breeze. Just $npm install -g n and then eg. n 6.11.5 should install and activate node 6.11.5 or whatever version you need.

[janzheng]

Hmm just purely using npm doesn't work for me (throws a ton of errors), so had to go down the nvm route, but nvm was throwing other errors, so I had to go fix those. But all is well and nuxt is up and running (and it's awesome, I think it's easier to use than Middleman, which I've been running for a while)

[bdipesh]

Error: Could not compile template /home/dipesh/nuxt/nuxt1/node_modul es/nuxt/lib/app/App.js: Cannot resolve "~assests/app.styl" from "/ho me/dipesh/nuxt/nuxt1/assests/app.styl"

how to solve this please...

[bjornbjorn]

I was on node v10.8.0 when I got this, switched to v8.6.0 (using nvm) and did a redeploy and it worked.

(FYI Firebase Cloud Functions now support node 8)

[wataruoguchi]

Hey, for those having the issue on Firebase, I found the solution.

Firebase Cloud Functions now supports node 8:
https://firebase.googleblog.com/2018/08/cloud-functions-for-firebase-config-node-8-timeout-memory-region.html

What I did:

1. Add "engines": {"node": "8"}, in functions/package.json
2. Add babel-polyfill in nuxt.config.js's vendor.

+++ b/src/nuxt.config.js
   buildDir: '../functions/nuxt',
   build: {
     publicPath: '/',
-    vendor: ['isomorphic-fetch'],
+    vendor: ['isomorphic-fetch', 'babel-polyfill'],
     extractCSS: true,
     babel: {

And it worked!

This is my sample project. Hope it's helpful: https://github.com/wataruoguchi/nuxtjs-firebase-example
