h.XMLHttpRequest is not a constructor with ethers v4.0.32 in node.js

[mds1]

I'm looking to add ENS forward/reverse resolution to seth. It already has a minified ethers v4.0.32 dependency, so I'd like to leave this untouched if possible.

When I add a node script with the following code, it throws with UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: h.XMLHttpRequest is not a constructor

const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(process.env.ETH_RPC_URL);
const name = await provider.resolveName(process.argv[2]);

It seems this is because XMLHttpRequest is a browser API and not defined in node.js, but I'd be surprised if ethers v4 didn't work out of the box with node.js. It feels like I must be missing something obvious here to make this work in node, so any guidance would be appreciated!

It is definitely not possible. :(

The ENS Registry Contract was updated since then and has a new address which requires at least v4.0.44 or better.

Even that old a version is not recommend, though.

I would recommend looking into updating to v5, and the cli package might be of interest to you, as it already has much of the functionality you require and may just require using the run or eval with a "here document" passed in.

Got it, thanks for the quick answer!
