Issue creating backend application using local DB - ReferenceError: BigInt is not defined

Help me!
1

Hi everyone,

First of all, apologies if this issue has been raised before, I’ve tried to search for it using different keywords but couldn’t find anything.

I’m trying to install ForestAdmin with my local database using NPM and can’t manage to get the backend created.

Expected behavior

Lumber generate command should create the backend.

Actual behavior

When I run the Lumber generate command I’m getting the following error:

ReferenceError: BigInt is not defined

Failure Logs

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/lumber-cli/node_modules/jose/lib/help/rsa_primes.js:6
const ZERO = BigInt(0)

I had a similar issue. For anyone that comes across it you need to update the version of node you are running.

nvm --version # should see nvm version number and ensure you have nvm

# if nvm is not installed then
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash
# log out and log back in

command -v nvm #should get nvm as output

nvm install node # will update node to the latest version

node -v # will display current version of node
