Describe the bug

While following the standard installation guide and examples there was a failure (see below). The failure boils down to a very recent release of the uWebSockets.js 20.35.0 which does have some issues on Linux, MacOS (maybe some other platform). After changing the version to 20.34.0 the problem was gone.

uWebSockets.js is a dependency of the graphql-mesh/cli which uses semver uWebSockets.js "uNetworking/uWebSockets.js#semver:^20" meaning it will use whatever is 20.x and will pick up 20.35.0 as the latest release.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Standard hello world installation

Expected behavior

It will help if flex versioning is replaced with a version guaranteed to work either explicitly or at least on a patch level (still does not protect the application from the entropy) e.g. uNetworking/uWebSockets.js#20.34.0 or uNetworking/uWebSockets.js#semver:~20.34

Environment:

• OS: Linux
• @graphql-mesh/cli@^0.88.4:
• NodeJS: 20
