Solved SyntaxError: Named export 'format' not found. The requested module 'json-rpc-peer' is a CommonJS module

[DeOccultist]

Just tried updating my latest XO community version to the latest but ran into this issue when starting.

node version is 14.16.1
npm version is 6.14.12
yarn version is 1.22.4

Any ideas as to what this problem is?

Hi,

How did you update it?

[Danp]

Try updating to node 14.17, which I believe will solve your issue.

@olivierlambert
I know it's not officially recommended or support but I'm using the updater from https://github.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_updater

@danp
Updated to node 14.17 but still has an error but different...

@deoccultist said in SyntaxError: Named export 'format' not found. The requested module 'json-rpc-peer' is a CommonJS module:

FYI: I've tried the updater too and getting the same failure

@deoccultist This was also reported in another thread. If may be due to changes published earlier today.
