unfortunately, while the project is in the public domain, it's pre-alpha so I haven't made the repo public yet.

but the project is structured the same as another public domain project I've built, and I just checked to make sure it has the same issue. I've gone ahead and made that project public so you can give it a try[0].

but, just to be clear, I don't think the message is wrong? The Node version on this machine is out of date. And when comparing the deno.lock file to the bun.lock file, I can see that the deno.lock has a slightly newer version (8.1 vs 8.0) of vite. So I think the message could be correct and is just telling me to update my version of Node, which is perfectly reasonable. It's just the discrepancy between not needing the newer version of vite/node on bun while invoking an error using deno. Feels like I should have either gotten perfectly matching versions, or error messages (with commands) to update node.

in any case, if you're still interested in seeing the error yourself, my steps were: 1. clone the repo 2. run deno install 3. run deno task dev

What node version do you have installed? I cannot reproduce the issue on that repo, I've tried with node versions all the way back to node 12.

here's a dump of the console:

```

Task dev vite

You are using Node.js 20.11.1. Vite requires Node.js version 20.19+ or 22.12+. Please upgrade your Node.js version. error: Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:util' does not provide an export named 'parseEnv' at file:///home/catapart/Development/magnitce-code-example/node_modules/.deno/vite@8.1.0/node_modules/vite/dist/node/chunks/node.js:11:46

also: I'm using Linux Mint, if it matters.

Okay I traced it, the problem is in `node_modules/vite/dist/node/cli.js`:

``` function checkNodeVersion(nodeVersion) { const major = parseInt(nodeVersion.split(".")[0], 10); const minor = parseInt(nodeVersion.split(".")[1], 10); return (major === 20 && minor >= 19) || (major === 22 && minor >= 12) || major > 22; } if (!checkNodeVersion(process.versions.node)) console.warn(`You are using Node.js ${process.versions.node}. Vite requires Node.js version 20.19+ or 22.12+. Please upgrade your Node.js version.`); ```

And that error should be thrown only in Deno < 2.2 which presented `process.version` as `20.11.1`.

Are you 100% sure this is not running some old version of Deno on your system?

[catapart]

you nailed it! I tried it on a different machine, just to be sure, and it worked without a problem. So then I did a full restart on the mint machine and I got a whole new error that was talking about missing files. So I uninstalled deno and reinstalled it, and it worked exactly like it did on the other machine.

I actually started this after another user said they couldn't reproduce the issue, but you figured it out before I finished reporting back.

Thanks for straightening me out on this! As I said a few days ago on the Deno Desktop HN Topic, I'm looking forward to this newest version!

The release notes here indicate that if a script shells out to node and you have a node installed Deno lets the installed node run instead of its own shim.
