Describe the bug
I'm getting this error when trying to run the tests in https://github.com/sveltejs/kit

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "parentURL" argument must be of type string or an instance of URL. Received an instance of Object

I guess the changes in #28526 are the source of this bug.

It works when upgrading to Node 21.6.1.

Looks like this was about a Node.js bug which was fixed in a recent 20.x release, e.g. v20.11.0 (latest 20.x).

I was able to reproduce in v20.6.1 but not in v20.11.0.

Closing since we only support the latest minor/patch releases of Node.js versions.

v20.11.0.

Facing this issue with v20.10.0, anything we are missing?

works for me with node v 20.9

you can install this node version and then use command nvm use
also put this in the .nvmrc file. like so: v20.9

this works for me but only within the current shell

I'm getting the same error with every node version I have tried.

ChristiansGithubID : Is your issue resolved?

[oleksii-pi]

Node v20.12.1 doesn't have this bug.

This comment helped me to fix it: #30217 (comment)

I could reproduce it on v20.6.0 (over nvm)

@Pizle0210 we recommend updating to latest Node.js.
