Help needed : Test stopped working due to npm error

[ramonfincken]

First of all: I am not friends with npm,npm/node, it is a black box to me.
I need some guidance to get the runner working again.

So ... this happens now:

cd '/home/myuser/prepare'; npm install && npm run build

Hello, @ramonfincken.

This probably means that you have an outdated version of some software needed.

The first thing is checking the Node.js version. It should be at least 16.x (recommended 18.x) for the actual WordPress version.

If it's not, upgrade it to one of those versions, and it should work just fine.

If it doesn't work, please, ping again and I'll help you with the next steps :)

We are on cloudlinux cpanel.

Even when entering /prepare with
source /home/myuser/nodevenv/prepare/18/bin/activate

[prepare (18)] [myuser@vm prepare]$ node -v
v18.18.2

it breaks

[prepare (18)] [myuser@vm prepare]$ npm install

can't we download some prepared archive ?

as we only run PHP unit tests, we do not run any javascript right ?

Installed it a another server and now it runs.
