    //cc @mochaaP this seems like it may be related to your recent work. Will the release of #91 help here?

    We haven't cooperated that change in any released versions yet, both in nodejs20 and nodejs-cjs-module-lexer. Also, this seems to be a distro-specific issue, so please raise it in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/

    Besides, I could not reproduce this on f39 with the following packages:

    nodejs-docs-1:20.12.0-1.fc39.noarch
libuv-1:1.48.0-1.fc39.x86_64
nodejs-libs-1:20.12.0-1.fc39.x86_64nodejs-undici-6.11.1-2.fc39.noarch
nodejs-cjs-module-lexer-1.2.3-2.fc39.noarch
nodejs-full-i18n-1:20.12.0-1.fc39.x86_64
nodejs-npm-1:10.5.0-1.20.12.0.1.fc39.x86_64
nodejs-1:20.12.0-1.fc39.x86_64

    Does your root filesystem support symlinks? /usr/lib/node_modules should be a symlink to node_modules_20 on Fedora 39+ and RHEL 10+.

    Oh, I recalled what's the issue here. libuv made io_uring default from a while ago, and it got merged into Node.js. Unfortunately, the implementation (kernel? libuv?) is currently buggy and had various quirks when doing file I/Os. A workaround is to set UV_USE_IO_URING=0 in your environment variables.

    Seemed to be a kernel regression. Tested with a clean f39 podman container on 6.9.0-0.rc4.37.fc41.x86_64, works well. @aswinbennyofficial Could you test it on Fedora 40?

    @mochaaP I havent installed fedora 40 yet.

    I have created a bug report on bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2276166

    @guybedford since this isn't a cjs-module-lexer issue but a kernel/libuv/node one, we can close this here.

    Forwarding from rhbz.

    OK, I figured this out.

    You are running npm as root and your npmrc sets prefix=/usr, which overrides /usr/lib/> node_modules to a folder instead of a symlink.
    Please don't install npm packages globally, at least not installing to /usr/lib.

    I can confirm that this is happening with Fedora 40 as well.

    Also present in Fedora 41.

    Steps to reproduce:

    docker run --rm -it fedora:41
dnf install -y nodejs18 nodejs18-npm

    Edit:

    As mentioned by mochaaP; I think this is an issue in the underlying OS implementation/packaging.

    This is because the symlink /usr/lib/node_modules -> /usr/lib/node_modules_<default_major_version> is provided by package nodejs. Please report this at rhbz so we could track it, thanks!
