TypeError on startup

[doragasu]

I have installed wiki.js on a Pi4 (I'm wondering if it being ARM has something to do) and cannot get the service to start properly. These are the logs:

Node.js v22.3.0

After a bit of googling, it looks like this happened with very old versions of node, but that's not what I am running, so I don't know what's happening.

Hum, could be related to this: lodash/lodash#5871

It links to a Fedora bug report on aarch64, and problem looks like the same, the exception is not being catched:

  function getRawTag(value) {
    var isOwn = hasOwnProperty.call(value, symToStringTag),
      tag = value[symToStringTag];

    try {
      value[symToStringTag] = undefined;
      var unmasked = true;
    } catch (e) {}

    var result = nativeObjectToString.call(value);
    if (unmasked) {
      if (isOwn) {
        value[symToStringTag] = tag;
      } else {
        delete value[symToStringTag];
      }
    }
    return result;
  }

Unfortunately I know no js, so I don't know if there can be a workaround for this problem.

Hum, as I have 0 knowledge of NodeJS, I asked chatgpt to rewrite the function without using exceptions and it came with this:

function getRawTag(value) {
  var isOwn = Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(value, symToStringTag),
      tag = value[symToStringTag];

  var canModify = isOwn && Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(value, symToStringTag).configurable;

  if (canModify) {
    value[symToStringTag] = undefined;
  }

  var result = Object.prototype.toString.call(value);

  if (canModify) {
    if (isOwn) {
      value[symToStringTag] = tag;
    } else {
      delete value[symToStringTag];
    }
  }

  return result;
}

I don't know if that code is correct/safe, but tried it and now it is starting and it seems it is working great!

Well, did not get feedback, but I have changed the category to a bug report, since maybe it is (although I am not sure).

Hi,

This issue has not yet been solved, each time I upgrade wiki.js, I have to apply the patch. What do I have to do to get this promoted as a bug?
