• Try to report your issue in the correct repository. Yjs consists of many modules. When in doubt, report it to https://github.com/yjs/yjs/issues/

Describe the bug
Presumably other setups too.

The level package is now on v8 and this package is using v6. Presumably upgrading level would fix things.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install this package with Node 18 & PNPM

Expected behavior
It installs.

[dmonad]

I just upgraded the package-lock version and the packages. Can you please check if this helped? Upgrading to v8 will be more work as there were a lot of breaking changes.

Encountering the same issue with release 0.1.2 on Node v16.19.0 & pnpm 7.18.2

I'm getting this issue too. node v21.0.0, npm 10.2.1, node-gyp 9.4.0

[aogriffiths]

The issue is fixed in level v8 but y-level is still using v6. Until that's fixed you can try overriding in you package.json.

rpm i works:

{
  "name": "works",
  "dependencies": {
   "level": "^8.0.0",
    "y-leveldb": "^0.1.2",
    "y-websocket": "^1.5.0",
    "yjs": "^13.6.8"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "y-leveldb": {
      "level": "$level"
    }
  }
}

rpm i fails:

{
  "name": "fails",
  "dependencies": {
    "y-leveldb": "^0.1.2",
    "y-websocket": "^1.5.0",
    "yjs": "^13.6.8"
  }
}
