[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1010888: grunt: autopkgtest failure with node-dateformat 5.0 in experimental - change the require of dateformat.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules

[Pirate Praveen]

Package: grunt
Version: 1.5.2-2
Severity: important

While trying to update node-dateformat to 5.0 (currently in 
experimental) autopkgtest of grunt failed with this error.

+ grunt test
/usr/share/nodejs/grunt/lib/grunt/template.js:9
template.date = require('dateformat');
                ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module 
/usr/share/nodejs/dateformat/lib/dateformat.js from 
/usr/share/nodejs/grunt/lib/grunt/template.js not supported.
Instead change the require of dateformat.js in 
/usr/share/nodejs/grunt/lib/grunt/template.js to a dynamic import() 
which is available in all CommonJS modules.

}

Full build log attached

Please fix grunt to work with node-dateformat 5.0 so we can upload this 
version to unstable.
