akamai netstorage command fails in macOS - Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module

[darthega]

This is a weird case I haven't found any reference to:

We have an Azure pipeline that installs akamai cli via brew in a MacOS VM, then uses akamai install to get netstorage, all the installation process succeeds, but when executing any akamai netstorage command, the CLI returns a JS error:

/Users/<user-name>/.akamai-cli/src/cli-netstorage/bin/akamaiNetstorage:26
let untildify = require('untildify');
                ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/<user-name>/.akamai-cli/src/cli-netstorage/node_modules/untildify/index.js from /Users/<user-name>/.akamai-cli/src/cli-netstorage/bin/akamaiNetstorage not supported.

I've tried several different versions of MacOS with and all reproduce the same issue, I'm also able to reproduce it locally after installing akamai cli via brew [ref] and also via binary file download [ref].

I've also tried different nodejs versions using nvm to no avail.

Further more, around 6 months ago (last time this pipeline was executed) it succeeded, my assumption is that something changed inside the netstorage package, most likely their dependency version for untildify, and it is breaking the execution.

Steps to reproduce

• On Mac OS
• Install akamai-cli via brew or binary file
• Run akamai install netstorage
• Attempt to run akamai netstorage --help
