Thanks for the report.

Have you tested https://www.npmjs.com/package/@yaml/yamlscript on node 21+ yet?

I'll have a look soon.

Yes, I tested it on v20.17.0 and v22.12.0

Hi. I finally got time to look into this.

I've confirmed that it doesn't work with nodes 16.10.0 and earlier and nodes 18.20.0 and later.
IOW, It seems to work with every node version from 16.11.0 - 18.19.1.

On this commit: 18a4cfbc (HEAD -> nodejs-fix, origin/nodejs-fix) nodejs: WIP: you can run commands like:

rm -fr .cache/.local/ && make -C nodejs/ distclean && make -C nodejs/ test NODE-VERSION=18.19.1

with different node versions and get results like:

I played around with koffi a bit but can't get it working yet.

Do you have any ideas?
