Re: [SOLVED] Problem with new and existing projects with nodejs 25.2.0-1

I found this github issue which is helpful as a temporary workaround: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/60704

e.g. I have a webpack project I would normally launch with:

yarn start

With the workaround I instead run:

NODE_OPTIONS="--no-experimental-webstorage" yarn start

Obviously according to  https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/60704 version 25.2.0-1 is completely broken in this case.  Downgrade from arch archive is to complicated due many dependencies of nodejs. Downgrade nodejs to v24.11.1 from nodejs.org does the trick.

I just installed nodejs-lts-krypton (24 LTS) instead of nodejs package - works just fine till they fix 25.

nodejs 25.2.1 has reverted this behavior.
