`pactum-init` fails on node v22

[Drew-Daniels]

Describe the bug
Thanks for creating & maintaining pactum! Looks like a great testing library and I'm looking forward to using it.

I noticed an issue when trying to run npx pactum-init in a node v22.17.1 project, which doesn't occur when I use other node versions such as 20.19.4 and 18.20.1.

For what it's worth, I'm using mise as my node runtime manager, but I don't think this issue is related to mise, since I can run npx pactum-init without an issue when using node v18 and node v20, and I've used mise for the last couple of years without really any issues like this.

To Reproduce

mkdir pactum-test
cd pactum-test
npm init -y
npm i -D pactum
npx pactum-init
# See the long stack trace

Expected behavior
I would expect that I could run npx pactum-init like the docs describe here using node v22 without getting an error, similar to how I can when using v18 and v20

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Software (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• NodeJS Version: 22.17.1
• Test Runner: N/A - this error occurs before I even install a test runner.

Realizing now that this might need to be a bug ticket made in https://github.com/depapp/pactum-init instead, but might be nice to make a call out in the docs that running npx pactum-init isn't supported on node v22 until this is fixed there.
