Using http-server to activate server got TypeError: Readable.from is not a function

Question

Im currently adding pwa to my new angular project.

C:\Users\alan_yu\angular-pwa>http-server -p 8080 -c-1 dist/angular-pwa

Starting up http-server, serving dist/angular-pwa

http-server version: 14.0.0

http-server settings: 
CORS: disabled
Cache: -1 seconds
Connection Timeout: 120 seconds
Directory Listings: visible
AutoIndex: visible
Serve GZIP Files: false
Serve Brotli Files: false
Default File Extension: none

Available on:
  http://192.168.16.91:8080
  http://192.168.56.1:8080
  http://192.168.99.1:8080
  http://127.0.0.1:8080
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

But I got the errors in the console after loading the webpage:

Environment Versions

OS Type: Windows 7 Pro

Node version: V12.2.0

http-server version: V14.0.0

Answer 1

stream.Readable.from function added in: node v12.3.0, v10.17.0

After updating node from V12.2.0 to v13.13.0 (at least v12.3.0), the http-server works well.
