Error message "error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported"

Question

I created the default IntelliJ IDEA React project and got this:

Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

It seems to be a recent issue - webpack ran into this 4 days ago and is still working on it.

Here are two options now -

1. Try to uninstall Node.js version 17+ and reinstall Node.js version 16+

You can re install the current LTS Node.js version from their official site. Or more specific downloads from here;
You can use NVM (Node Version Manager)
- Linux and Mac users can use this nvm package - https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
- Windows users can use this nvm package - https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows

2. Open terminal and paste these as described:

Linux and macOS (Windows Git Bash)-

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Windows command prompt-

set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Windows PowerShell-

$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider"

Reference link.

user_10722615 · Answer

In your package.json: change this line

"start": "react-scripts start"

to

"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"

user_13050174 · Answer

If we use the current LTS version of Node.js then this error will not come. Downgrade your Node.js version to the current LTS version (16.13.0).

There can be multiple ways to install the required version. One of them is using nvm (Node.js version manager).

Step 1: Install nvm (if not installed, follow Install Node.js Locally with Node Version Manager (nvm))
Step 2: nvm install 16.13.0 (or lts)

user_6935021 · Answer

It's the Node.js version.

I have this error on Node.js 17, but it's fine when I switch my Node.js version to an older version (16) by using nvm.

user_7768490 · Answer

Some top answers did not work.

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

And some top answers were not applicable, modifying package.json file:

"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"

This is caused by the latest node.js V17 compatible issues with OpenSSL, see this and this issue on GitHub.

The easiest thing is just downgrade from node.js V17 to node.js V16. See this post on how to downgrade node.js.

user_564406 · Answer

Danger

This question has more than 30 answers, most suggesting to either downgrade Node.js to pre v17 or to use the legacy SSL provider. Both of those solutions are hacks that leave your builds open to security threats.

Reason For The Error

In Node.js v17, the Node.js developers closed a security hole in the SSL provider. This fix was a breaking change that corresponded with similar breaking changes in the SSL packages in NPM. When you attempt to use SSL in Node.js v17 or later without also upgrading those SSL packages in your package.json, then you will see this error.

The Correct (safe) Solution

Use an up-to-date version of Node.js, and also use packages that are up-to-date with security fixes.

For many people, the following command will fix the issue:

npm audit fix --force

However, be aware that, for complex builds, the above command will pull in breaking security fixes that can potentially break your build.

user_12326534 · Answer

I found the commands below on GitHub:

For Windows, use the below command in cmd:

set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

For Unix, use:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

user_17234215 · Answer

Failed to construct transformer: Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

The simplest and easiest solution to solve the above error is to downgrade Node.js to v14.18.1. And then just delete folder node_modules and try to rebuild your project and your error must be solved.

user_9122129 · Answer

This worked for me (downgrading from Node.js 17 to Node.js 16):

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

Using Node.js Version Manager (for Windows).

user_11560250 · Answer

check

node -v
v17.4.0

then roll back to node --lts (node v16.13.2 (npm v8.1.2)) for that use nvm.

nvm install 16

then check node -v and confirm it's version 16.

user_7243174 · Answer

This solution worked for me.

This error is coming in Node.js version 17+, so try to downgrade the Node.js version.

Uninstall Node.js from the computer.
Download Node.js version 16 and install it again from https://nodejs.org/download/release/v16.13.0/

That's all.

user_319224 · Answer

Reason:

This error is because node.js 17 uses OpenSSL3, which has changed code for initialization context of md family (including md4), and this is a breaking change. The error can also occur if you build the application using docker build since it pulls the latest version of Node.JS by default.

Install nvm Node Version Manager:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

Install latest LTS version:

nvm install --lts

Use LTS version:

nvm use --lts

Done!

user_2866210 · Answer

I faced this issue in Docker build, and I have added this line in the Docker file:

RUN export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && yarn build && yarn install --production --ignore-scripts --prefer-offline

For local development, add the switch in file package.json.

Running audit fixed the problem for me

npm audit fix --force

user_488514 · Answer

Had this issue when using VueJS.

A disadvantage of using -openssl-legacy-provider is that it is not supported by older Node versions. Older Node versions simply don't run when this flag is provided.
But I still want to be compatible with Node v16 and older.

VueJS uses the md4 algorithm to generate hashes (wel actually it's WebPack under the hood). md4 can be easily replaced by md5 for these kind of purposes. The type of algorithm used, is on most places hard coded, so there's no way to configure another algorithm.

So I came up with another workaround. A function that intercepts the original createHash() call from the crypto module and replaces it with a modified version. This is at the start of my vue.config.js file:

const crypto = require('crypto');

/**
 * md4 algorithm is not available anymore in NodeJS 17+ (because of lib SSL 3).
 * In that case, silently replace md4 by md5 algorithm.
 */
try {
  crypto.createHash('md4');
} catch (e) {
  console.warn('Crypto "md4" is not supported anymore by this Node version');
  const origCreateHash = crypto.createHash;
  crypto.createHash = (alg, opts) => {
    return origCreateHash(alg === 'md4' ? 'md5' : alg, opts);
  };
}

user_7617428 · Answer

If you are facing this error and you do not want to change your main configuration, an easy fix would be to use the following approach. I am not sure if it is recommended as a good practice, though.

Feel free to correct it.

Initially, let’s say this is the scripts section of my package.json file:

...
"version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "build": "npm run build:test-app:testing",
    "build:test-app:testing": "ng build test-app --deploy-url  https://test-app.com/ --configuration=test-config",
    ...
  },
  "private": true,
...

In order to use this export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider you can do the following:

"version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
....
    "build": "NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider npm run build:test-app:testing”,
    "build:test-app:testing": "NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider ng build test-app --deploy-url  https://test-app.com/ --configuration=test-config"
...
  },
  "private": true,

Take note of the build scripts. I have added an option: NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

This helps solve this error in Node.js version 17.

For those with the flexibility of changing the build system's Node.js version, just switch to a version lower that 17, e.g., version 16.

For Docker, the use case of using this initially, which always pulls the latest version:

...
FROM node:alpine
...

You can switch to something like:

...
FROM node:16-alpine3.12
...

Same Error with node version v18.0.0 and nuxt framework version 2.15 when running dev server and will be fixed by:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider nuxt"
}

user_2109620 · Answer

I faced the same errors when building hoppscotch using Node.js v18.4.0, and set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider saved me!

This worked for me in my app expo (downgrading from Node.js 17 to Node.js 12 or 14).

If you have nvm installed you can change the version of node:

First check versions of Node.js in nvm:

nvm list

Second, install version 12 or 14:

nvm install v12.22.8

If you're using react-scripts you can now simply upgrade to version 5.0.0 (or above) which seems to have addressed this issue (it includes a newer version of webpack).

user_19297784 · Answer

This is a common error when packages on a project are not updated and the React version that you use is not the latest.

To fix this problem, you need to change your package.json file this way:

Change this

"scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
}

to this

"scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start",
    "build": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
}

user_2696058 · Answer

For Angular apps:

You can also edit the npm start script in package.json. Instead of

"start": "ng serve -o"

to

"start": "set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && ng serve -o"

When you run npm run start in the terminal/command line, it will first set the NODE_OPTIONS to avoid the problem.

Go to:: https://nodejs.org/en/

And download the recommended version for most users.

Then uninstall Node.js from your PC and install the recommended version.

From what I understand, this is a problem from the developer team. They will fix it ASAP, but in the meantime use the recommended version and everything is going to be OK.

If you are getting this error while using GatsbyJs, all you need to do is downgrade the node version to long-term support. There is no other salvation

user_8700614 · Answer

This might not be an answer to the question for everyone. But for anyone running node 17 and above in docker, downgrading just as everyone has said will be helpful. No need for the open-legacy-sslprovider. A simple switch in your Dockerfile from using

From node

to using

From node:16.*

fixes this issue in docker.

From node

to using

From node:16.*

fixes this issue in docker.

In PowerShell:

$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider"

It worked with Node.js v18.7.0.

user_329062 · Answer

There are a lot of workarounds posted (mostly downgrading Node.js, OpenSSL, or allowing insecure hashing), but the underlying problem is that Webpack's output.hashFunction defaults to md4, which triggers this error in recent versions of OpenSSL.

From Webpack's output.hashFunction docs:

Since Webpack v5.54.0+, hashFunction supports xxhash64 as a faster algorithm, which will be used as default when experiments.futureDefaults is enabled.

The solution is either:

Set output.hashFunction = 'xxhash64'
Set experiments.futureDefaults = true

in your Webpack configuration.

I was facing the same issue with Node.js 17.0.1. I solved it by following these steps:

Open Control Panel → Program and Features → Node.js and uninstall Node.js by right-clicking a
Go to website https://nodejs.org/en/ and download the version and install.

user_12544391 · Answer

I fixed by using the LTS version:

echo "lts" > .nvmrc
nvm install

React Native has a buggy script to find the path of the Node.js executable.

This sets the version to the latest stable version of Node.js through Node Version Manager.

What I found is that even if Node.js is in my path, if I have an ~/.nvm directory it's going to try to find use in nvm and fail. This sets the current node to be linked to the one in ~/.nvm and thus that React Native can find.

user_4315333 · Answer

You need to update react-scripts to the latest version

npm update react-scripts --save

user_12917466 · Answer

Try:

npm create react-app --template typescript foo --use-npm

user_1037613 · Answer

On Dockerfile you should add:

ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

user_17571677 · Answer

I have come across this issue today and have resolved it by switching Node.js version using "nvm".

I've been working on a couple of personal projects using Node.js, Next.js, and React... What often happens to me is that I don't remember exactly which version of Node.js do I use for which project.

And so usually I would try to use Node.js 16 for a project that is currently using Node.js 14 (I'm currently on Node.js 17).

I haven't figured out a better way to remember the version of Node.js for each project, so I usually would just save all commands that I need to run to get the application started in readme.MD.

user_4503225 · Answer

In Angular.io projects, the accepted (unsupported) version of Nodes.js is v16.x.x.

In Nodes v17.x version, the same error described in this question occurs.

Solution:

Uninstall nodes and reinstall version v16.x (for Windows).
