Docusaurus + Node.js 20.6 doesn't work

[slorber]

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• 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

Docusaurus doesn't work under Node.js 20.6.0

Very likely related to a Node.js bug: nodejs/node#49497

That should be fixed soon.

In the meantime I don't think there's anything we can do apart using a different Node.js version.

Going to close all the other related Docusaurus issues as duplicate. For now we have:

• [bug] npx create-docusaurus failing on node.js 20.6.0 npm 10.0.0 #9286
• Cant run yarn run start on node 20.6.0 #9290
• Error in Node.js v20.6.0: "TypeError: Cannot set property NODE_MAJOR_VERSION of #<Object> which has only a getter" #9278

Reproducible demo

No response

Steps to reproduce

Use Node.js 20.6 + Docusaurus

Expected behavior

It works

Actual behavior

It doesn't work

Your environment

• Public source code:
• Public site URL:
• Docusaurus version used:
• Environment name and version (e.g. Chrome 89, Node.js 16.4):
• Operating system and version (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS):

Self-service

• I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.

I'm also on node v20.6 and I am getting the following when I try npx create-docusaurus@latest my-website classic. Output:
npm WARN deprecated stable@0.1.8: Modern JS already guarantees Array#sort() is a stable sort, so this library is deprecated. See the compatibility table on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort#browser_compatibility (node:33254) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'register' of module exports inside circular dependency (Use node --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created) [ERROR] TypeError: common.register is not a function

This issue is resolved in Node 20.6.1, can be closed.

Can I get others to confirm? @homotechsual, @alewolf, @milesj?

[milesj]

Looks to be working 👍

[Josh-Cena]

Great, let's close unless someone else reports otherwise 👍

[alewolf]

I'll have to wait until Homebrew updates its tap to the newest version of node. I'll let you know once that's done.

[homotechsual]

All good now on 20.6.1
