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" 
  }
}
