firebase functions is node 6-only

Nuxt.js 1.x requires node >=8 and npm >=5

cf. package.json https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/blob/dev/package.json#L56

The latest build of nuxt-edge supports Node 6.x again by automatically falling back to the legacy build.

PS: Don’t forget to add babel-polyfill dependency to your project if you need legacy build.

Make sure to check your Node and Nuxt version. For Nuxt 1.4.0 you need at least Node 8.0.0. Also, did you use the starter template?

solve it by using node v8.11.2

I have the same issue with firebase deploy on my nuxt project. Firebase functions are only compatible with node 6 Nuxt is compatible with node 8+…

What a dilemma… What should I choose? My project uses both Nuxt and Firebase, so I can’t choose one of two…

@MarineLB try to upgrade your node.js version to the latest 8 LTS (currently v8.11)

I am also getting this issue while trying to run firebase deploy on my nuxt project. Firebase functions are only compatible with node 6 while nuxt is compatible with node 8+, so downgrading to node 6 is not an option for me.

Anyone else having this problem?

Update node to version 8 helped. Thanks for the help.

My https socket server is not working with a node version > 6.11 so what should I do?
