bittorrent-tracker --version fails due to package.json being imported via CommonJS require #554
Closed as not planned
Description
What version of this package are you using?
11.2.1
What operating system, Node.js, and npm version?
x86_64 Linux, Node.js 22.18.0, npm 11.6.0
What happened?
When I use the --version flag on the CLI I get the following error message:
file:///home/user/project/node_modules/bittorrent-tracker/bin/cmd.js:37
console.log(require('../package.json').version)
^
ReferenceError: Cannot determine intended module format because both require() and top-level await are present. If the code is intended to be CommonJS, wrap await in an async function. If the code is intended to be an ES module, replace require() with import.
at file:///home/user/project/node_modules/bittorrent-tracker/bin/cmd.js:37:11 {
code: 'ERR_AMBIGUOUS_MODULE_SYNTAX'
}
What did you expect to happen?
That the program would output its version and exit normally.
Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?
Yes, I already have a fix in place. I will open a PR and edit this post shortly.
Edit: PR created #555
