Fetch fails on Node.js (WebAssembly error) #1287

@BZ110

Description

@BZ110

What Happened:

I was unable to use await fetch() nor fetch().then() on Node.js for this application.

Version this happens on:

The latest version available on the App Store & The Beta TestFlight

How to re-create

  1. Create a file called test.js
  2. Write down this code:
await fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"); // Use any API
  1. Execute the file. You may need to allow ESM modules.

}
  1. The code will not execute properly. Depending on how it is written, it will either gracefully handle the fetch or error out.
  2. A pattern I discovered is that you had to press the CTRL+C to quit the application, meaning that Node.js doesn’t quit.
