Nodejs version or includes problem

[tothstevee]

Hi! I have this issue with my project TypeError: buffer.readUInt8 is not a function this function only use in one of my dependency. What i found in other forums is can be becouse of the nodejs version. Than i found this tutorial how can i change my nodejs version but after it still get the error

Local Serverless function does not reload because of bufferutil

external_node_modules for netlify.toml is supposed to fix this, but for some reason, it wouldn’t work, however, when I tried including the node_module paths, that fixed it. # netlify.toml [functions] included_files = [ # For some reason this works to fix "bufferutil" error on # Netlify Function and external_node_modules does not "node_modules/bufferutil/**", "node_modules/utf-8-validate/**" ]

@tothstevee Have you confirmed what version of node your build is running?
Your build log will show it.

@tothstevee Sorry I just realised you’re talking about functions not your build.

The version of node that your build is running has nothing to do with the version of node that your functions execute with.

See here for setting the node version for functions:
