Incompatibility issue with node v16?

[bchevalier]

I had to use v6 of imagemin-webp as using v7 or v8 would lead to the following error at build time:

/.../src/index.js:12
const imagemin_webp_1 = __importDefault(require("imagemin-webp"));
                                        ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /.../node_modules/imagemin-webp/index.js from /.../src/index.js not supported.
Instead change the require of /.../node_modules/imagemin-webp/index.js in /.../src/index.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Note that I am using node v16.20.1 and npm v8.19.4

I know this is an old thread, but I recently ran across this. I had to move the import into my function and import it dynamically instead of requiring it.

gulp.task("convertToWebp", async () => {
  const imagemin = (await import("gulp-imagemin")).default;
  const imageminWebp = (await import("imagemin-webp")).default;
  ...
});
