I am getting the same error and my node is also v20.8.0
Hey @Harsh_Prajapati / @Akash_Kumar9,
Could you please let me know if the problem still persists for you? If it does, please share the Node.js driver/Mongoose version you are using and the error log you are encountering.
Regards,
Kushagra

I have tried delete node_modules and package_lock.json and restart. Have tried to downgrad the mongodb version to ^5.2.0. I don’t know what else to do please SOS
The syntax error seems to come from the file add_user.js.

This is valid JS according to MDN. I am puzzled. I have try it in a normal (that is not a constructor) and it worked fine.
I have tagged your post with node-js in hope of somebody with more JS experience see it.
So, still trying I discovery part of the problem.
As shown in my first message output:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ?
The node app.js works just fine, but mongodb is giving me just null instead of working or thrown an error, and it makes me think that node wasnt working. Then I tried to run with nodejs, and nodejs isnt in the same version than node. Giving me the sintax error.
So its just a problem of discovering why mongodb is giving me the null output. (my app.js is described in my first comment).
If I understand the following correctly
you want to know why the const banana is evaluated to null in the following code:
I think you simply forgot to open the connection.
I am sorry if I focused on the syntax error rather than on the null banana issue but
- your first post was in a thread with the title Getting Error This.options = options ? {};,
- your first line of text mentioned I’m having this error too
- and your first screenshot shown a stack trace with the error this.options = options ?? {};
So I really really thought that the issue was about the syntax error with ??. You should have created a new thread with a title like My query returns null. Why?
To terminate, if the issue is not the missing open(), the null banana could be that
- you are connecting to the wrong server
- you are using the wrong database
- you are querying the wrong collection
- there is no document in given server/database/collection with a field named name with the value Banana.
My initial error was the one I initially reported. However, I persisted to resolve the issue, and I eventually identified the problem. The first line of my previous message was:
“So, still trying I discovery part of the problem.”
I discovered that when I ran “nodejs app.js,” it was giving me a problem related to ‘this.options = options ?? {};’ because the version of Node.js I had installed differed from ‘node.’
Running “node app.js” yielded a null result, which led me to use the ‘nodejs’ command instead, mistakenly thinking that “node app.js” wasn’t working because of null result.
I have no intention of shifting away from the original problem, so I will open another forum thread if the need arises.
Thank you for your attention!
