Not compatible with node 7.0 and node 8.0??

[gregberge]

In package.json, I can read it:

"engines": {
  "node": "^6.9.0 || ^4.2.0",
  "npm": "^4.0.0 || ^3.0.0 || ^2.1.9"
}

I am using node v8.0.0, I have the following error:

error [email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^6.9.0 || ^4.2.0".

Can you remove engines section from package.json?

@neoziro thank you for reporting the issue.

May I assume you're using the Yarn package manager?

I've seen this exact issue from others, including myself, given that I also use yarn, since Yarn treats incompatible node versions as a hard failure instead of a warning.

There's a discussion on the Yarn GitHub project regarding that behavior - yarnpkg/yarn#1102

A workaround is to pass --ignore-engines to yarn install.

Since there has been no upstream movement on a resolution to the strict enforcement of the engines property by Yarn, I've gone ahead and relaxed the version range constraint in this project's package.json file.

The version constraint now specifies all versions of Node greater than, or equal to, 4, and greater than, or equal to, npm 2.

Was about to report that issue as well, thanks @hbetts for the promtness and detailed explanation!

Version 1.1.11 has been published.

(At some point I'll set this project up with semantic-release so that fixes go out just a tad bit faster)

@hbetts thank you for the fix
