"url.URL is not a constructor" error updating from 2.22.0 to 2.23.0

Developer help

I’ve been using Ghost on my DigitalOcean VPS for a while. The most recent update from 2.22.0 to 2.23.0 didn’t complete properly when I used ghost update in the CLI. The CLI debug log has this in it:

Debug Information:
    OS: Ubuntu, v18.04
    Node Version: v6.14.0
    Ghost-CLI Version: 1.10.0
    Environment: production
    Command: 'ghost update'
Message: url.URL is not a constructor

Any ideas what ight be happening? Is Node 6.14.0 too new?

Node 6.x hasn’t been supported for a while, I think that’s probably where you should look first. 10.x is the current LTS version.

Aha, that definitely helps. I updated Node and ended up reinstalling Ghost entirely since it had another hiccup. All is well now. Thanks! :slight_smile:

I’m seeing this issue as well, and your docs say you support Node v6, FYI.

The docs are now up to date :wink:
