ReferenceError: TextEncoder is not defined #196

Closed ghuser004 closed 3 years ago

ghuser004 commented 3 years ago

A basic hello world level application in nodejs causes this error. See the call stack:

user@2267cf4dbfae:~/data/node_modules/whatwg-url$ node ~/data/index.js
/home/user/data/node_modules/whatwg-url/dist/encoding.js:2
const utf8Encoder = new TextEncoder();
                    ^

I'm quite surprized this has slipped by. I don't know why this default install of node and whatwg-url fails to work but its causing HUGE problems for me. Please identify the cause and FIX.

nodejs version is 10.19.0 whatwg-url version is: 9.1.0
