Check NodeJS version on local environment when starting Fusion.
Since Fusion 2.8 requires Node v12, perhaps a check should be added to verify Node versions on local environment. The check could run with npx fusion start. Please see image attachment.
Thanks for submitting this idea Eric. We discussed this internally and the difference of npm and node versions on the host and docker image. Having different npm/node version on the host does not directly affect fusion's runtime since it runs inside the docker container. But we made a point that perhaps the modules installed via npm in the host (local) npm can create lock file with older versions of dependencies which may affect the fusion runtime inside docker. Engine team is not sure if this is currently causing issues or side effects.
Do you have any instances that this (having older node/npm in the host) that caused issues for you?
