TypeError caused by node22

[xxl-13]

TypeError: Function.prototype.apply was called on undefined, which is a undefined and not a function
at node:internal/main/run_main_module:30:49

The TypeError occurs with Node.js version 22, but when using Node.js version 20, the error does not appear.

too long, not gonna read

clone: https://github.com/Kaltsoon/rate-repository-api

install and use Node 16

I could not get this API to run with Node 23 or Node 22, and it got very hairy.

First I'm running Python 3.12 and that gave distutils deprecated issues, so I installed setuptools.

Then using both Node vs 23 and 22 there was an error pattern that I think ought to be referenced here:

once I reach the final instruction,
I run
npm start

and I get

> rate-repository-api@1.0.0 start
> node -r esm ./src/index.js

Kaltsoon, the author of this API who is mentioned in this repository's README has the original publication of this API in the repository at the address: https://github.com/Kaltsoon/rate-repository-api

in Kaltsoon's repository README, it is mentioned that this API was:
"Tested with Node version 16, but later versions might work as well"

After I cloned Kaltsoon's API, installed Node 16, and switch to Node 16, everything ran without any errors.
