This whole commit may need to be fixed. cb7b296

I'd highly suggest to add testing to your code before pushing as well as proper commit messages. This is a really good read on that subject.

[OmgImAlexis]

Did you mean to use assert() instead maybe? Looking at the typings it shows assert.strict() to be the same as assert() itself. I'm guessing your tsconfig isn't correctly setup to convert it back.

yeah it was tested and also compiled with TS too, hmm, weird, which node.js version are you on?

[ORESoftware]

my guess is that you are on an old node version? node 7 does not have assert.strict, but node 8+ should.

[OmgImAlexis]

I was on a version of 8. Updated to 12 and still got the error.

[ORESoftware]

got it, can you copy the contents of this file on your machine

/usr/local/bin/proxy/node_modules/live-mutex/dist/broker.js:65:16

to here?

[ORESoftware]

something might be up with your node version, here is the output I get for node version 8:

@OmgImAlexis any word on this bird?

[OmgImAlexis]

Now try with typescript.

[ORESoftware]

how'd it go?

[ORESoftware]

any conclusion on this one? will close o/w, pls lmk

[OmgImAlexis]

It was an issue. Like I said try with typescript.
