TypeError: crypto.createPrivateKey is not a function

问题

I am running into this error when trying to login with node. error:

TypeError: crypto.createPrivateKey is not a function

When I researched it appears that I need to be on version v.11.+ of node, not v.10.+ However, when I upgrade to node 11, the error is still there. I have uninstalled node completely, cleared npm cache, and reinstalled... yet that didn't work either.

export const InitializeJWT = async (): Promise<void> => {
  const password = crypto.pseudoRandomBytes(25).toString('base64');
  const salt = crypto.pseudoRandomBytes(25).toString('base64');
  jwtPayloadKey = crypto.scryptSync(password, salt, 32);
  jwtPayloadIv = crypto.randomBytes(16);
  const rsaKeys = crypto.generateKeyPairSync('rsa', {
    modulusLength: 2048,
    publicKeyEncoding: {
      type: 'spki',
      format: 'pem',
    },
    privateKeyEncoding: {
      type: 'pkcs8',
      format: 'pem',
      cipher: 'aes-256-cbc',
      passphrase: password,
    },
  });
  jwtSign.privateKey = crypto.createPrivateKey({
    key: rsaKeys.privateKey,
    format: 'pem',
    type: 'pkcs8',
    passphrase: password,
  });
  jwtSign.publicKey = crypto.createPublicKey({
    key: rsaKeys.publicKey,
    format: 'pem',
    type: 'spki',
  });
  debug('JWT Keys Initialized: ', password);
};

Has anyone ran into this error before? I am on node version 11.3.0 and npm version is 6.4.1

I ran into this problem when writing an Electron app. Even though I have NodeJS v12 installed, Electron bundles its own version of NodeJS, which in my case was much older. For anyone using Electron, from the developer tools console, this information is in process.version for NodeJS, and process.versions for other bundled components, including the version of Electron itself.

To address your immediate question, Yuri Tarabanko has the correct answer. You say you are using Node version 11.3, the docs state that createPrivateKey was added in 11.6.0: https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createprivatekey_key
