How this Error Occurs ?

I just updated node to latest version and I am facing following error.

Error: digital envelope routines::unsupported
opensslErrorStack: [ ‘error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error’ ],
library: ‘digital envelope routines’,
reason: ‘unsupported’,
code: ‘ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED’

How To Solve opensslErrorStack: [ ‘error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error’ ] Error ?

Solution 1: Just use this command

Here is official Message : If you hit an ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED error in your application with Node.js 17, it’s likely that your application or a module you’re using is attempting to use an algorithm or key size which is no longer allowed by default with OpenSSL 3.0. A new command-line option, --openssl-legacy-provider, has been added to revert to the legacy provider as a temporary workaround for these tightened restrictions.

Just run this command in Your terminal.

node --openssl-legacy-provider ./node_modules/.bin/gatsby build

Now your error must be solved.

Solution 2: change the build script

You should change the build script something like this in your package.json.

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider; gatsby build"
  }
}
