Trying to use verify throws an error in base64url lib: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toString')

[Rob117]

It seems like I might be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

I have a jws token (compact), and when I try to run the following:

  const jws = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve('token.txt')).toString()
  const token = await nodeJose.JWS.createVerify().verify(jws, {allowEmbeddedKey: true});

I get:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toString')

    at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:981:32)

If I console.log the output of jws I get a well-formed token string that seems to decode properly (according to jwt.io), so I don't think that the token itself is undefined.

Is this a library error, or am I doing something wrong?
