Build errors with new Parcel install

[joospotter]

I'm having an issue getting lmdb-store to build as part of a Parcel requirement on my new environment.

This is the relevant part of the build error log:

Stack is

• Windows 10
• Node.js v18.12.1
• Latest VS C++
• Python 3.10

Do I need to downgrade to an older version of node for this to work? Seems like the error messages are all v8 related.

@joospotter do you know which version of Parcel and lmdb-store you are using?

[Edit: npm install lmdb actually works fine so this looks like an upstream issue?]

Also coming from Parcel so posting here but just running npm install lmdb-store in an empty directory results in an unsuccessful build: see build log

• macOS 12.6.1
• Node.js 18.12.1,
• Npm 8.19.2
• Python 3.7.3
• Global packages:

  ❯ npm list -g --depth 0
  /Users/lemonad/.nvm/versions/node/v18.12.1/lib
  ├── corepack@0.14.2
  └── npm@8.19.2

Yeah, the most likely answer is that yes, if you are using an old version of lmdb-js, you will probably need an older version of node. Updates/fixes for later versions of node have been in later versions of lmdb-js for quite a while.

It appears that the project was using rc2.0.0, but upgrading it directly did not fix the issue - uninstalling all additional modules to parcel and then uninstall parcel itself from the project then reinstalling the latest version has it now building successfully however.
