throw Error(yargs parser supports a minimum Node.js version of ${minNodeVersion} Read our version support policy: https://github.com/yargs/yargs-parser#supported-nodejs-versions`);

[Ragunath]

I am in Angular 12 version , Node : 14.20.1. We upgraded angular 11 to angular 12 while running npm run test, then we faced this issue. Also, given the package .json below.

I tried changing many node versions even to the latest(20.x) as error described , no luck!

When karma is more than 6 version
i.e "karma": "^6.3.12",
karma-typescript": "~5.5.4",

=========
I tried to fix in another angle by changing the versions of karma and its dependency packages. This time we are getting some other issue that can't track it. below are the error.

When karma is less than 5 version
i.e "karma": "5.2.3",
karma-typescript": "^4.1.1

Were you able to find a resolution to this issue?

I've not been able to find out what causes it, but to prevent the error from throwing you can manually set process.env.YARGS_MIN_NODE_VERSION to something higher than what you're running with. See https://github.com/yargs/yargs-parser/blob/main/lib/index.ts#L19

In our case we are using an old version of gulp that uses yargs parser as a dependency. We solved the issue by selecting the needed gulp tag in the pipelines.

npm i -g --quiet gulp@3.9.0
