Not usable on Node.js 12

[filips123]

Truffle and its sub-packages (truffle-contract) are unusable on Node.js 12 (trufflesuite/truffle#2070). Because of that, this package is also unusable on Node.js 12.

@filips123 thanks for opening this! As you noted, we'll need to keep an eye on truffle and upgrade once they add support.

Bumping this issue to a bug, we really would love to use node 12... especially because it is a requirement for https://github.com/panva/jose

@OR13 This will probably be fixed in next version of Web3.

This has been fixed on truffle/web3 https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/issues/2913

Looks like this is still blocked because of another dependency of @truffle/hdwallet-provider

sadness... thanks for pinging those issues.

Most features seem to be working in node 12 but a couple of tests are failing, mmmh. Looks like it's related to the truffle wallet

I'm still having trouble with this issue:

error @transmute/[email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=10.0 <12.0". Got "12.14.1"

Hi @christianlundkvist , thanks for being vigilant about this issue!

As far as I can see, with the latest version of truffle (which was the last blocking dependency), Element now works with Node 12.

I've opened a PR to remove the <12 constraints in package.json. We'll let you know in this thread as soon as we ship the next version that contains this change.
