Description

After installing Node.js v19.8.1 and running the '@analogjs/platform' server, an error occurs with the message "require is not defined" in the 'xhr2' module. This error is triggered in the 'xhr2.js' file at line 119, causing a reference error. This issue prevents the server from running correctly and accessing the endpoints.

Please provide the exception or error you saw

Thanks @mohammadraufzahed. What fix are you proposing?

Same error with Node version: 16.16.0

Changing vite config plugins section and disabling ssr option kinda resolves application start error. From: plugins: [analog()], to: plugins: [analog({ ssr: false })],

[brandonroberts]

Node versions 16.17.0 and 18.13.0+ have been verified as working

[mohammadraufzahed]

I tested with node 18 but it faild

[julianstephens]

Getting the same issue on Node 18.16

This solution worked for me on Node 18.16 using Angular 16 pre-release

Might be related to and resolved by this effort: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/50247

Hi, I can confirm that angular/angular#50247 will allow to drop the usage of xhr2 (as a developer preview though)

[brandonroberts]

Try this with the latest release and see if its still an issue
