got ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED when using node 17 and react 17 on expo

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? BUG

What is the current behavior? the error is coming from metro. one way to get it is to run “expo start”. it returns a qrcode and then shows this error : ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED

im sorry i dont know how to acces metro config/parameters.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and a minimal repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test.

# npm install -g expo-cli
# expo init my-app
# cd my-app
# expo start

What is the expected behavior? working

Please provide your exact Metro configuration and mention your Metro, node, yarn/npm version and operating system.

Encountered the same error after upgrading to node v17.0.1. The error seems to originate from the transformFile method in the Bundler class. I suspect that the dependency graph is failing to load which results in an undefined transformer instance. I’m using react-native-cli so I doubt the error has any relation to Expo. Took all the necessary steps to reset metro’s cache which didn’t help. Perhaps there’s a transformer option that can be added to the configuration file that I’m not aware of? The only solution I can think of for now is to downgrade node and wait for a patch.

I have the same issue with my non-expo application, the only thing that worked for me was also:

Resolved the issue by running the application with the latest LTS version of node (16.13.0). The new major release has most likely introduced a breaking change within metro.
