Netlify visual editor not working (lovable.dev project) wrong node version

Hi dears,

I’m a newbie at web development who is trying to release his first project with the help of AI :slight_smile:
My site on Netlify: https://brandeals.lt/ code: GitHub - kldfk32/brandeals-hub

My problem is that I can’t use the Visual Editor app and logs say that my node and npm version (12.22.12) is too old. I tried to fix/update my code with the help of Claude, ChatGPT, etc. Then used forums for help and the leading tip was to delete [node_modules], and [package-lock.json] and install new npm dependencies, but it didn’t work.

Question: Is there a way to update my website code to be available to use with Visual Editor, or Lovable.dev projects are so hardly adaptable/changeable to use for a website like mine, which will have new content every day? Should I create it by myself using different tools?

You can find my visual editor preview logs here: Logs

Thank you in advance for every answer!

I can’t answer your various questions, as I don’t work with the Visual Editor (all I know is that it used to be Stackbit and I never used that either), but if you’re “coding” with AI, you should probably just ask either the AI you’re working with or Netlify’s AI, or some other AI.

If you’re creating the project with AI, having it explain/change things on your behalf is probably always going to yield you a faster outcome.

In regards to setting the node version that Netlify uses during build, there are several ways to do it, and it’s best explained by the documentation which can be found here:
