Hi there,

@Chrisputer probably mentioned the same issue at grafana-toolbox/panodata-map-panel#82:

I cannot get this to build at all.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55921442/how-to-fix-referenceerror-primordials-is-not-defined-in-node tells us everything about the background why this is happening with newer releases of Node.js like

$ node --version
v14.15.0

Origin of the problem

This issue stems from the fact that gulp@3.9.1 depends on graceful-fs@^3.0.0 which monkeypatches Node.js fs module.

This used to work with Node.js until version 11.15 (which is a version from a development branch and shouldn't be used in production).

graceful-fs@^4.0.0 does not monkeypatch Node.js fs module anymore, which makes it compatible with Node.js > 11.15 (tested and working with versions 12 and 14).

Note that this is not a perennial solution but it helps when you don't have the time to update to gulp@^4.0.0.

So, just add this to the package.json file

  "resolutions": {
    "graceful-fs": "^4.2.4"
  }

and invoke

npx yarn install
npx yarn build

Voila:

yarn run v1.22.10
$ gulp
