Engine syntax incorrect

[ungrim97]

I cannot install the latest v7 on node 16 at the moment. NPM is complaining about incompatible version:

npm ERR! code EBADENGINE
npm ERR! engine Unsupported engine
npm ERR! engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected]
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected]
npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":">=6.4.0 <13|>=14"}
npm ERR! notsup Actual:   {"npm":"8.3.0","node":"v16.13.0"}

I believe the issue is the syntax used in the engines block in the package.json

I think instead of:

  "engines": {
    "node": ">=6.4.0 <13|>=14"
  },

it should be:

  "engines": {
    "node": ">=6.4.0 <13||>=14"
  },
``` (double pipe instead of single)

#1661

(Side note: I am unreasonablly annoyed that the PR for issue 1660 is numbered 1661...)

This is still an issue.

What might be a valid fix? Not too experienced with engines property.

Looking at the Semver spec I don't think there actually is a not equals operator available.

It looks like the correct solution is the one I original gave or the symantically equivelent PR by @nbezzala above. Both of which might cause you Eslint issues.

[ungrim97]

Also running Eslint seems to suggest that the earliest supported node that will work is v10.10.0 (Catch binding and http2 support).

Removing the catch binding would lower the supported Nodejs to v8.13.0 as http2 was backported

[textbook]

To express "v6.4.0 or newer, excluding v13" you want e.g. >=6.4.0 <13 || >=14; you can try these out on https://semver.npmjs.com/.

v7.0.2 released https://github.com/visionmedia/superagent/releases/tag/v7.0.2

I had to publish with np --no-tests because of yarn test lint errors with eslint not parsing engines properly per mysticatea/eslint-plugin-node#315.
