Thanks @43081j for the review!

Happy new year to the Chai team and congrats on the v5 release 👏

I assume you must be busy handling "after sales" of the release, but do you think this MR could be merged and released any time soon?

Thanks!

Let me see if I can publish this without breaking everything 😅

[koddsson]

Should be out there now in v4.4.0

[forty]

Awesome, thanks a lot @koddsson ! Everything looks good on my side (and you haven't override the latest tag ;) )

[koddsson]

and you haven't override the latest tag ;)

Oh but I did for a couple of minutes 😭

Are you sure of your nodejs version? Nullish Coalescing operator ?? exists since nodejs 14.

$ podman run -it --rm node:18.19.0 -e 'console.log(undefined ?? "ok")'
ok

Ok, I found the issue in your setup standard-things/esm#909

Looks like you are using this "esm" package, which have been dead for a while, last publish was 5 years ago and the repo is archived, so I would not expect a fix 😬

Thanks, I filed an issue to track this at chatmail/core#5156
For now just pinned chai to the last version that worked.
