What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. git clone [email protected]:ether/ueberDB.git && git checkout fix/tests
2. Install Node: Node 20.3.0 works, the respective versions 20 and 21 were released in a time window of 5 days ago
3. npm i
4. Run the file test/lib/test.spec.ts
5. See the tests failing on recent Node versions

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

Can you share a minimal reproducible example without 3rd party libraries and a stacktrace?

[SamTV12345]

Sure I'll create one in the next few hours. It was thrown in the dirty db implementation so it shouldn't be too hard to track that down.

@marco-ippolito Here is the example. I just put it into a test so I can easily start it from webstorm

import {describe, it} from "vitest";
import {TMP_PATH} from "./config";
import fs, {createWriteStream} from "fs";

describe('test-node-failure',  () =>{

    it('should allow .on load to chain to constructor', async function () {
        let path = "test.txt"
        let _writeStream = createWriteStream(path, {
            encoding: 'utf-8',
            flags: 'a',
        });
            let _queue = new Map();
            let key = 'key';

            const cbs = _queue.get(key) || [];
            _queue.set(key, cbs);
        _writeStream.cork();
        for (const [key, _] of _queue) {
            _queue.delete(key);
            const data = `${JSON.stringify({key, val: "test"})}\n`;
            _writeStream.write(data, (err) => {
                console.log(err)
            });
        }
        _writeStream.uncork();
        });
});
