victorlin commented 1 year ago

Testing

victorlin commented 1 year ago

The build is failing due to Webpack <5 being used in static-site/ with the same error that prompted https://github.com/nextstrain/auspice/pull/1520 (addressed while adding Node.js 18 support to Auspice):

Error:error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

Based on the lockfile, Webpack 4.46.0 is installed as a dependency of Gatsby. The solution is to use Webpack ≥5, and that is only possible by either upgrading Gatsby to the next major version or removing it.

In other words, upgrading nextstrain.org to use Node.js 18 may be dependent on resolving https://github.com/nextstrain/private/issues/88.

Replaced by #810 (which jumps v18 and moves straight to v20)
