SDK 24.3 - yeoman scaffolding fails

Yosi Maurer

We tried to create a new Smart View customization project. We follow the instructions from "4-0190 Content Server SmartView Development - 20.2"

When using yeoman for scaffolding we got the following error:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module C:\SmartView\generator\node_modules\chalk\source\index.js from C:\SmartView\generator\app\index.js not supported.

Instead change the require of C:\SmartView\generator\node_modules\chalk\source\index.js in C:\SmartView\generator\app\index.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

at Object.<anonymous> (C:\SmartView\generator\app\index.js:3:15) {code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'}}

I tried to downgrade yeoman and node.js. Also tried to change generator\app\index.js to use ECM instead of cjs – but the error still appears.

The only solution found was to use to use SDK version 21.2 instead of the latest - 24.3 .

Can we expect problems using 21.2 generator to create widgets for a higher ECM versions?

What are the compatible versions of Node.js and yeoman for each SDK version?

required versions are included in the ReadMe.md file including in the SmartUI SDK ZIP file.
