Getting error while trying to fork a BSC chain using Ganache

[abhishek6383]

I have installed ganache following instructions from https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache#documentation

I am trying to fork BSC chain for which I have a full node running locally which is fully synced(I want to fork this for which I have provided the URL in package.json under 'scripts') . I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I have also updated Node.js and npm.

When trying to run ganache using 'npm run ganache' It is giving me this error. Any idea how can I solve this?

@abhishek6383 I've only been able to reproduce this with NodeJs 12.x, which is no longer supported - I see you've updated Node.js, but can you please confirm the version that you are using? node --version should output this.

Can you please also provide the version of Ganache that you have installed to your project? npm list ganache should do it (npx ganache --version would normally work too, but given the error, I don't think it will).

HI @jeffsmale90 ,

Issue solved! Thank you so much. I updated Nodejs but the version in use was the older one, that is why it was showing the error
