It seems to not work anymore

Hi,

great tool, but it seems to stop working anymore. I tried following with your example json from the README.md:

1. CLI via NPX

a.) Windows 10: many warnings and no static files are created
b.) Ubuntu 20: many warnings and exit code 1 - no files are created

C:\DEV\source\tech-radar>npx [email protected] ./test-radar.json ./output

Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

So, it seems to me, that sth. with the dependencies prevents the tool from working. Or that I did sth. wrong... any idea?

@patrick-heuer-maersk , I can't get it to run under node 16 myself. It does still run under node 12. Try downgrading your node implementation, or running it in a Docker container. The readme for the repo gives an example Dockerfile that can get you started.

@patrick-heuer-maersk / @dprgarner , to work around the node specific features of this project I've released a docker image pinning the container to a supported node version (v14): https://hub.docker.com/r/dawmatt/tech-radar-generator

The Dockerfile details are in this fork: https://github.com/DawMatt/tech-radar-generator
