Cannot import cloudinary in nodeJS with "navigator undefined" error

I recently installed cloudinary via npm and cannot import it in my nodeJS backend due to the following error.

(base) feiwu@Feis-MacBook-Pro backend % node server.js        
/Users/feiwu/projects/inventaire/backend/node_modules/cloudinary-core/cloudinary-core.js:1168
var useAgent = navigator && navigator.userAgent || '';
               ^

ReferenceError: navigator is not defined

I have found nothing so far about this error and would like to know if someone know about this issue ?

Solution

  • Cloudinary had just released a new version to its JS SDK (version 2.12.2) that fixes this issue.
