I just setup a fresh sveltekit project, when I opened the localhost it shows me the error above in the browser. No error in terminal console. node version using - v20.12.1 And also while creating a Vue project I get this error. command: npm create vue@latest ouptut:

TypeError: (0 , import_node_util.parseArgs) is not a function

Are these errors interlinked somehow? How to solve it?

Request is not defined definitely sounds like a Node version issue. I'm like 95% sure something changed in versions with node about how the Request package was built and then it was removed. You may need to use Node 18

JOYOP•9mo ago

Using 20.12.1 I reinstalled nvm But still didn't work

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

if you use nvm you could just install a v18 and check that, but the way Requests are used changed between 16 -> 18... so if you're on 20........................................................... i shall look more assuming your machine is on 20? is your package also on 20? they can definitely be mismatched

JOYOP•9mo ago

I tried to setup fresh project with 20.12.1 Still showing the error

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

when you run nvm -v in your project, what does that say?

JOYOP•9mo ago

1.1.12

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

:FacePalm: i definitely thought of one thing and asked a different thing

JOYOP•9mo ago

Happens

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

have you done like nvm use v20.12.1 in your project?

JOYOP•9mo ago

Yes sir

nvm list

  * 20.12.1 (Currently using 64-bit executable)
    20.11.0

nvm list

  * 20.12.1 (Currently using 64-bit executable)
    20.11.0

:pepeSad:

JOYOP•9mo ago

😭why meeeee

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

not sure it is you could very well be an issue with sveltekit or vite or something else especially if its a fresh build

JOYOP•9mo ago

I mean why I'm the victim of this problem I can setup a vue project either

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

never happens in React >:)

JOYOP•9mo ago

Cant *

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

can you try downgrading node to a stable v18 version and see if that works?

JOYOP•9mo ago

okk only for u 💅

ErickO•9mo ago

are you checking node version in the same terminal as you're running the project? AKA not using the terminal for nvm list but using the vscode terminal to run the project

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

i googled both of the errors and both seemed to resolve on v18 so my brain says "do that" 😄 also definitely worth double checking that the versions are correct in the vsc terminal though they should match up

JOYOP•9mo ago

well i checked on every terminal yes i checked on vsc termianl already did, they match everywhere even in sys32 dir and even in project folder

ἔρως•9mo ago

why are you trying to do this on windows, instead of wsl?

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

the real question is why not mac 🙂 jk

ἔρως•9mo ago

because it costs an intel and a leg not an arm, because it already has one

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

thats a big brain response maybe its just me but for whatever reason v20 causes issues 😦

ἔρως•9mo ago

i used it in a debian vm with version 21

JOYOP•9mo ago

how come it works fine on my friends system

ἔρως•9mo ago

and it didnt cause any issues

JOYOP•9mo ago

im installing version 18 rn btw, 18.16.1

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

we actually deleted a docker image on v20 because of a severe CVE and then it was determined that CVE messed up their flag

ἔρως•9mo ago

good question

ErickO•9mo ago

have you heard of docker?

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

18.16.1 is my favorite 😄

JOYOP•9mo ago

yup, but dont want to get into it rn

ErickO•9mo ago

don't get into it, the very concept of docker should be an answer for that question

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

besides, why do wsl when you can use the new prevew version of dev home on windows

ἔρως•9mo ago

the what?

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-home/

Dev Home for Windows Developers

Dev Home is a new control center for Windows providing the ability to track your workflows and coding tasks using customizable widgets, set up your dev environment, connect to your developer accounts and tools (such as GitHub), and install apps and packages all in one place.

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

slightly clunky but works pretty well

ErickO•9mo ago

the definition of Windows?

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

true. this is not the case on either of my Macs

ἔρως•9mo ago

looks kinda interesting

JOYOP•9mo ago

theoriginalandrew•9mo ago

seems like there might be some steps in that one that could potentially solve it, but i'm not a svelte dev (just a scummy ol React dev) so i'm a bit beyond my depths when it comes to that library 😬
