Cloning the project and running it

node cli.js ../octokit/webhooks.js/pkg-pika ../octokit/webhooks.js/pkg

Output:

Possible solution:

Doing this change fixes the issue for me:

- import compareFixture from ".";
+ import compareFixture from "./index.js";

I'm happy to help on this and am open to submitting a PR.

I think this is less about the version of node you are using and more about the version of npm 🤔 I just tried this today with someone and it worked, can you try again and see if it's ok for you?

Actually looking at your error I knew exactly what was wrong! It's fixed now 👍
