[BUG] Tar upgrade from 6.1.0 to 6.1.9/6.1.10 throws error

[psxpa3]

Hello, I am trying to upgrade tar version. However, getting this error TypeError: Cannot destructure property isAbsolute of 'undefined' or 'null'.

   5 | import * as tmp from "tmp";
   6 | // import * as tar from "tar";
>  7 | const tar = require("tar");

Could anybody provide some direction?

What is the context in which you are loading tar? Is this a node program?

isAbsolute is destructured from require('path'), which should definitely not be undefined or null.

Thanks for the reply @isaacs. Yes, it is a node program. The thing is I am trying to upgrade tar version from 6.1.0 to 6.1.1+, and yarn test fails with the above error

Can you add a line in there like console.log(require("path")) to show what it's returning?

[isaacs]

Also, the full stack trace from the error would be helpful.

My hunch is that somehow require('path').win32 isn't set, so the destructuring in ib/strip-absolute-path.js is the problem. What does node -v output?

Hi @psxpa3 were you able to resolve this issue? I am trying to update tar to the same version and facing the same issue.

Will reopen when the questions above are answered.

@isaacs I am seeing similar issues as well. Here are some related information: Error trace: Dependencies: My file:

Node version: node: '16.18.0'

It would be really helpful if you could point me to the right direction! Thank you so much!
