Terser error "digital enveloper outines::unsupported" when using build: { minify: false }

[kirschkern]

What happened?

I want to disable minification of my build. So I set minify: false in the build section of my quasar.conf.js file.
When I run "quasar build", I get the error

js/69.763c7054.js from Terser
Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope r
outines::unsupported

When setting minify: true, it runs without errors.
This happens for both pwa and spa applications.

I've run "npm update" and "npm audit fix --force" but still get the error.

Any idea how to disable code minification for my quasar 1 project?
Thanks
Daniel

What did you expect to happen?

Please type "quasar info" inside of your project folder in the terminal and copy/paste the output.
Otherwise it's unclear what Quasar CLI (and which version) you are reporting the bug for.

You are on Quasar v1, which is out of support for some time now. We've announced the end of life for v1 years ago then still supported it a few more years. Please upgrade to Quasar v2 -- you can find the upgrade guide on the docs website: https://quasar.dev/start/upgrade-guide#migrate-to-v2-from-v1

[kirschkern]

Yes, the project is huge and the transition to Vue 3 would take several weeks (without the transition to the composition API).
Thanks anyway for looking into this.

[rstoenescu]

You don't need to transition to composition API if you don't want to. The Options API is still supported in Vue 3.

However, if your company would be willing to contribute financially towards Quasar development we could make the extra effort for the v1 fix. If you want to talk about this, please DM me on Discord.
