Fails with Node.js 17

Bug: webpack/webpack#14532

Fixed in #809

For some reasons, #809 and 0.32.0 does not resolve the issue.

The issue may have something to do with ncc's failure to bundle the WebAssembly modules. I encounter some issues with the WebAssembly modules in the past. However, in this case, the issue could prevent webpack from using its own hash implementation:

https://github.com/webpack/webpack/tree/main/assembly/hash

This could become a bigger problem in next version of webpack, since xxhash64 would become default, and there is no OpenSSL implementation to fallback to.

Can you share steps to reproduce the issue? Then @sokra can take a look too.

[jesec]

It is very simple.

Install Node v17, and run ncc on any project.

I see. There’s a PR to add Node 16 support #801

I haven’t tried Node 17 yet but it looks like the hash algo used is not supported by crypto.createHash()

Probably md4 was dropped so we can try sha1 instead.

Any news with this? I can confirm the problem is with Node 17.
Seems to be working well with Node 16.

I was able to get it to work with Node 17 with a hacky workaround,

I added the following to my scripts in package.json

"buildv17": "node --openssl-legacy-provider ./node_modules/@vercel/ncc/dist/ncc/cli.js build"
