url.URL is not a constructor

Bug Report

Problem

When trying to run (cordova run browser), got an error message "url.URL is not a constructor"

What is expected to happen?

cordova run browser is supposed to run the app in a browser window

What does actually happen?

Error message "url.URL is not a constructor"

Information

Found a work around: in file platforms/browser/cordova/lib/run.js change line 56 (or 57) form: var projectUrl = (new url.URL(http://localhost:${server.port}/${startPage})).href; to var projectUrl = http://localhost:${server.port}/${startPage};

I immediately ran into this problem on macOS following the Cordova Getting Started Fast example with a fresh install.

URL class was added in Node in version 6.13.0 & 7.0.0. Without the version information filled out I can't say for sure, but educated guess tells me you may have been running an unsupported version of node.

I've confirmed the "Getting Started Fast" works.

Since nowadays the minimum supported Node version is Node 10, I'll be closing this ticket.
