Node versions tested - 10.16.0 & 12.9.1

Node versions tested - 10.16.0 & 12.9.1

I have CI running with 10.13.0, 10.x, 12.0.0 and 12.x on three runtimes.

BigInt has landed in node with 10.4.0

What else can you tell about your environment?

[zuizuihao]

the same problem in node v8.16.1

[panva]

@zuizuihao node 8 is not a supported runtime.

@zuizuihao node 8 is not a supported runtime.

alright, I just want to use openid-client which depend on this package. is there any other solution?

I am using nvm for node versions, can that be an issue?

It may not be set up right, run node -v for me and node -e 'console.log(process.versions)' please

[panva]

@zuizuihao use 2.x of openid-client or start thinking of upgrading to node 10 or node 12. Node 8 End-of-live is December 2019 at which point it stops getting any updates. https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule

node -e 'console.log(process.versions)'

Then this just isn't possible and there's an issue with how you run your program, try placing console.log(process.versions) in your process that throws BigInt is not defined

[dsoftware763]

One thing I forgot to mention, it gives this error when I use openid-client npm package.

That doesn't matter, openid-client's CI also runs the full supported runtime matrix, see here

[dsoftware763]

I understand that and I agree there's something wrong with my env but that's what I am trying to figure out for the last few hours, what is going wrong, I ran the same code on another system with windows 10 OS and it ran as expected.

Just see this screenshot

[panva]

I can see two different ways you invoke node in that screenshot, run which nodejs (runs in your VS), and which node (runs in your bash).

Its clear now your VS Code is not using your nvm installed node version and you can confirm that by placing console.log(process.versions) in your code that runs.
