Getting "ReferenceError: SharedArrayBuffer is not defined" error on React 17.0.2

Question

I'm running the latest version of React (17.0.2) and tested it on Chrome (92.0.4515.107 arm64) as well as Safari. I'm getting the following error

It was working fine for months. Did not perform any updates to packages.

Answer 1

This issue was related to the library react-sketch. Switching to react-sketch2 solved the problem.

Answer 2

I think i have an answer to your question, i was getting a similar error to this, even though i didnt change any packages. To solve this, i just checked my node version by typing node -v and then npm by npm -v , somehow this fixes the error for me, if this does not work, you can just delete a few words and retype them and save it
