Subsystem

fs

What steps will reproduce the bug?

touch a.txt
ln -s a.txt b.txt
node -e "console.log(require('fs').globSync('**/*.txt'))" // ok
node -e "Array.fromAsync(require('fs/promises').glob('**/*.txt'))" // fail

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

It should work and return those entries like globSync

What do you see instead?

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'length')
    at #iterateSubpatterns (node:internal/fs/glob:627:34)
    at async Glob.glob (node:internal/fs/glob:540:9)
    at async Object.glob (node:internal/fs/promises:1266:3)
