ReferenceError: Node is not defined

See original GitHub issue

Haven’t changed anything in my code but reinstalling my dependencies and I now get this error.

Do you have an idea what could cause this?

When I force installing the exact version of all my dependencies, the issue is gone. Will try to figure out which one is causing the issue.

As far as I can tell it is caused by the absence of the definition of global Node.

This will solve the reported Error:

// http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_node_nodetype.asp
global.Node = {
    TEXT_NODE: 3
};

If someone could post how they solved, it’d be great for future reference. Throwing this in there— try using yarn instead of npm.
