README says safe_browser uses node v8

Prerequisites

• Using yarn
• Using an up-to-date master branch
• Link to stacktrace in a Gist (for bugs)

Expected Behavior

I’m running a local dev browser (no mods yet) with yarn link to a local safe_app_nodejs (no mods yet). I expect the browser to start and function as normal.

Current Behavior

When I run the browser with NODE_ENV=dev yarn dev the console includes uncaught exceptions which report that safe_app_nodejs is using a different node version to the browser. The browser window doesn’t appear.

The Browser README says:

Node.js ^8.0.0 (we recommend installing it via nvm)

safe_app_nodejs README says:

Node.js ^10.0.0 (we recommend installing it via nvm)

Possible Solution

Changing the browser to use nodejs v10 appears to fix this issue, so I think the safe_browser README is incorrect. What is the correct version of nodejs to use with SAFE Browser?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

No, I wasn’t which would tie in with the behaviour you are describing I think

Indeed. The problem I had was only when trying to yarn link safe-app-nodejs

Thanks @bochaco, I’ll close this. If I need to come back to it I’ll have another go, but maybe it will just work. Sorry if its been a wild goose chase.
