仅在 Docker 中构建时不支持的引擎节点/NPM

Question

I have a dependency in my package.json which itself has the following dependency:

"node-rdkafka": "^2.5.0",

Using nvm on my local machine and setting my node version to 8.9.1 , and my npm version is 5.5.1 , I can successfully run

npm install node-rdkafka@2.7.1

But when running the same thing (ie npm install ) from within my docker image:

FROM node:10.13.0-alpine or FROM node:8.9.1-alpine

I get the following error:

npm ERR! notsup Unsupported engine for node-rdkafka@2.7.1: wanted: {"node":">=12.0.0"} (current: {"node":"10.13.0","npm":"6.4.1"})
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: node-rdkafka@2.7.1
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: node-rdkafka@2.7.1
npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">=12.0.0"}
npm ERR! notsup Actual:   {"npm":"6.4.1","node":"10.13.0"}

Any ideas about this inconsistency?

I clearly dont need a node version this high. But it says I do.

Answer 1

The engines property in the package.json allows us to establish a range of versions.

With >=12 is asking for a node with version 12 or greater.

Therefore, the solution would be to install the requested version:

FROM node:12

Anyway, I recommend reviewing the versions supported by Docker currently here .

Answer 2

Try to remove package-lock.json before npm install in Docker

rm package-lock.json
npm i
