superagent issue

SuperAgent Version: 16.2.0
Node Version 16.3 and 12.22.7
OS: Windows

Hello,

I am not quite sure if it is a right spot to post this question. It is an issue with superagent but I don't personally use superagent. I believe it is installed as part of supertest.

As part of the pipeline to publish package to npm, I run this command to test npm
npm install --no-package-lock --no-production --engine-strict

In the latest 6.2.0 supertest, when I run this command, it is giving me following error, I try the same command in {"npm":"8.1.0","node":"16.3.0"} as well, no luck. I have to downgrade supertest to 6.1.0 to make it to work:

npm ERR! code ENOTSUP
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported engine for superagent@7.0.1: wanted: {"node":">=6.4.0 !13"} (current: {"node":"12.22.7","npm":"6.14.15"})

Same problem here, I think it fails because the Node Version is not "13".

That shouldn't be the case should it? Otherwise the current "supertest" module will only work where Node 13 is installed.

You can work around it by using:

npm i --save-dev supertest@6.1.6

>=6.4.0 !13

I'm not aware of such a syntax for defining semantic versions, the exclamation mark is suitable for architectures and operating systems restrictions, but I haven't come across anything in that sense for version definitions.
If we want to exclude node 13, the syntax should instead be 6.4.0 - 12 || >= 14

Anyways this should be a bug for superagent not for supertest, right?

It already is, so i think you can close this one: ladjs/superagent#1665

Absolutely, what is happening here is just a consequence of the loose dependency to superagent :
