Slate Commands no longer running after node upgrade

[patrickbjohnson]

Problem

Pulled down existing site from Shopify. Migrated theme to Slate build.

Was using slate watch to run dev instance of theme.

Updated node to latest v11.0.0 and now slate commands fail.

slate watch
fs.js:25
'use strict';
^

ReferenceError: internalBinding is not defined

I've tried re-installed. I've tried using yarn or npm commands to install modules again but nothing seems to work.

Currently running 0.13.0 of slate-tools

Additionally, I have a Slate v0 theme (non-migrated) which suffers from the same issue.

@t-kelly not sure if the tags were automated but have y'all not see this issue before? Was looking here and ThemeKit's repo to try and find a resolution to the issue. Handful of paying clients awaiting those changes to go live :(

Any particular reason you absolutely need the latest node? If it's urgent I would suggest downgrading Node

[patrickbjohnson]

I believe I had to update for a separate project. Which in hindsight is exactly what something like NVM is for. How we I’m not entirely sure which version of node would resolve this issue.

Should work no problem with Node v8.11.1

[patrickbjohnson]

@huguestennier Adding nvm and rolling back to v8.11.1 has resolved my issue but still persists with latest version of node.

Thank you for your help!

This is a bug in the natives dependency and needs to be updated to at least 1.1.1 I believe.

isaacs/natives#14

Solution (for me)

This bug comes from "unzip2": "0.2.5", which as @IngoVals correctly states above uses a now outdated version of natives.

How I fixed this issue:

1. Find the path natives is in. You can easily do this by looking at your error message. I'm on a mac so it's at the same place as @patrickbjohnson :

at req_ (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@shopify/slate/node_modules/natives/index.js:137:5)

2. Now cd using that path to the slate directory. In this case:

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@shopify/slate

3. All we need to do is update natives. I went ahead and uninstalled too:

npm uninstall natives
npm install natives 

That gave me the latest natives version and now slate works

For me the fix was downgrading Node to 8.11.1 using nvm. I messed around with natives but that didn't work for me.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.1/install.sh | bash
nvm install 8.11.1
nvm use 8.11.1

Using nvm to switch to 8.11.1 for Slate v0 development also worked for me. 👍 Thanks all.
