ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED with nodejs v19.8.1

[Peltoche]

Hi 👋

I just tried to run the command yarn watch:drive:browser and I have the following error:

{
  opensslErrorStack: [ 'error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error' ],
  library: 'digital envelope routines',
  reason: 'unsupported',
  code: 'ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED'
}

nodejs --version -> v19.8.1
openssl version -> OpenSSL 3.0.8 7 Feb 2023 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.8 7 Feb 2023)

This seems to be linked to the migration to openSSL v3 which add some more restrictions on algorithms and key size.

The easier way to solve it is to add the following flag: --openssl-legacy-provider

This can also be done via an env variable: NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider yarn <some-command>

Some context can been found at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70582072/npm-run-fails-with-err-ossl-evp-unsupported
.

This issue is more a documentation than a cry for help. I don't think there is any solution except the one listed above. If ever you find one feel free to add a comment 🙂

Yep for now we only support node 16.

We had an internal discussion about node 17 and + since they have changed the DNS resolution (nodejs/node#40537) our current workaround for that is to use node --dns-resolution-order=ipv4first

Thanks for testing on node 19.
