webpacker breaks on node17 with Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

[TruePath]

On node 17 running bin/webpack gives me the error "Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported" when running webpacker 5.4.3

This is discussed in the webpack issues here which seems to indicate that it's fixed in the very latest version but that might only be for version 5 of webpack.

can you upgrade to v6.rc6?

@TruePath I recommend that you don't upgrade to Node 17 yet, and upgrade to webpacker v6 soon.

Thanks. I mean I have a workaround but I was just trying to be helpful.

And yes, it seems to work fine on rc6 so yah looks like you already got it.

@justin808 I have upgraded my Webpacker to v6.rc6, but still can't use it with Node.js 18, which is enforced by Heroku. Do you happen to know if it works with Heroku-22?

My error is extremely similar:

Because if does, I'll insist on this solution a little bit more, but if there's no confirmation, I will probably just look for something else!
