@DanielFran assigned to you. 😄 WARNING! Your Node version is not LTS (Long Term Support), use it at your own risk! JHipster does not support non-LTS releases, so if you encounter a bug, please use a LTS version first. The error message seems the node is 18 prior to LTS version. The warning didn't show at MacOS M1 + node 18.12.1

The logic looks ok: https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/bb188e00ca686d506658737ed7f91c478a7afcce/generators/base/generator-base-private.mjs#L511-L515

Just need a new release.

Are we sure JHipster v7 works with Node 18? This issue suggests it does not.

Following https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/20394:

• jhipster upgrade test is broken, it install latest released jhipster which is broken. So a new release will fix the upgrade test.
• wait-on is broken due to a node bug: https://github.com/jeffbski/wait-on/issues/127#issuecomment-1300959898

Generation works and as long as ./npmw is used instead of the system node/npm, the application will work fine.

Are you working on this @DanielFran ?

[BrayanMnz]

Seems like just a release was needed and this is not an issue anymore. maybe this can be closed.

[deepu105]

closing as release v7.9.4 is being done

[vishal423]

Blueprints still doesn't work with nodejs v18 due to incorrect module exports on the JHipster side. Refer https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster-svelte/issues/1841

@deepu105 , can we reopen?

JHipster has completed the sample check .yo-rc.json: Entities JDL: Application: successfully generated Frontend check: skipped Backend check: skipped E2E check: skipped

Changing the package.json exports for generator-jhipster will almost for sure be a breaking change. We support node 18 in v8. Closing.
