Strapi database error SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.' targetAttribute?.target === uid

I've update my Strapi version from 4.3.6 to 4.4.5 and got this error when I start appliation with production environment with command npm run start

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). The promise rejected with the reason:
/home/megapolisgit/megapolis-platform/node_modules/@strapi/database/lib/entity-manager/morph-relations.js:15
      targetAttribute?.target === uid &&
                      ^

node version is 17.9.1 db: PostgreSQL 14.2

I've checked github repository for answer but haven't found the same issues

Solution

  • Finally, I found an answer. The problem was in PM2 I used to run my strapi. By default, PM2 takes node binary from /usr/bin/node in my case it was 12.22.12. Using NVM I've installed 18.12.1 but the path to this was different. I changed ecosystem.config.js to this

    module.exports = {
  apps: [
    {
      name: 'app',
      script: 'npm',
      args: 'start',
      env_production: {
       NODE_ENV: "production"
      },
      interpreter: "/home/mega/.nvm/versions/node/v18.12.1/bin/node"
    },
  ],
};

    and got my application running with the correct node version.
