Found a solution!

Change your "node" version in package.json to 18.16.1, this worked for me.

  "engines": {
    "node": "18.16.1"
  }

You can also upgrade your nodejs to 18.17.0+.

Curious: Is it because of any new features of 18.17?

[jeromewu]

Nope, just because I didn't test on other versions.

[JimmyLv]

Maybe it can be more backward compatible, just declare 18.x, and wait until there is a problem?

[Alpacora]

👀... You can pass the flag --ignore-engines to bypass the error.

Given node.js's versioning rules and changelog, this library is 18.x compatible. could you consider dropping the minimum version to 18.x?

Fixed in 0.12.6.
