[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1010413: mocha: ftbfs with nodejs 16: workerpool needs to be updated

[Jérémy Lal]

Package: mocha
Version: 9.2.2+ds1+~cs28.3.8-1
Severity: important

Hi,
node-crc ftbfs with nodejs 16 because mocha's parallel mode does:
workerpool fails with:

TypeError: The "options" argument must be of type object. Received an instance of Array
    at ChildProcess.target.send (node:internal/child_process:733:7)
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at dispatchQueuedRequests (/usr/share/nodejs/workerpool/src/WorkerHandler.js:262:21)
    at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/usr/share/nodejs/workerpool/src/WorkerHandler.js:221:7)

After standard uscan update (that I pushed on salsa, please tell me if I can upload it),
and a patch to work around webpack < 5, node-crc builds fine with both nodejs 14 and 16.
