I tried to specify the node engine in a package.json to accept both 8 and 10 version.
I tried to type this:
"engines": {
"node": "8.x|10.x"
},
But running yarn results in:
The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "8.x|10.x"
If I replace with:
"engines": {
"node": "10.x"
},
... it works (i.e no error).
Is there a way to accept two versions of node engine in a package.json?

See the documentation which includes examples.
Provide a space separated list of engines with greater/less than symbols.
{
"engines" : {
"node" : ">=8.0.0 <11.0.0"
}
}
You just need the double pipe || instead of a single.
"engines": {
"node": "^8 || ^10"
}
Would match either v8.x.x or v10.x.x but not v9.
