This bug is specific to Node 12 and is present in 5.0.39 and 5.0.38.

Looks like it was referenced by David Burela here https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/issues/2070

hello there, im having the same issue with Truffle v5.1.28, same behavior, just clarify the bug is present not only in 5.0.38 and 5.0.39.

Just made a fresh instalation following those steps, all works fine but the test command :) https://www.trufflesuite.com/boxes/drizzle

I just tested this in Truffle v5.1.31 and truffle test does work in this newest version. @eggplantzzz or @spore-engineering can you confirm? Thanks!

[CruzMolina]

@fainashalts did you make sure to test using Node 12?

Running the test command within truffle develop using Node versions >= 12.3.0 should fail and throw the reported error.

[fainashalts]

@CruzMolina I thought I had changed my node version but turns out it was still running v10. You are right, this error does happen on >= 12.3.0! Sorry for the confusion!

Directly related to https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/issues/4009.

Would love more beta testers of our experimental release! https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/issues/2070#issuecomment-573198692:

Hey everyone! ✋

We just published an experimental prerelease that uses a fork of mocha with one tiny change. 🤞

Our node 12 CI appears to be pleased and smoke testing locally w/ node 12 LTS seems to be fine.

Please give it a try and let us know if things work!

npm un -g truffle
npm i -g truffle@nodeLTS

Linking this PR because it may fix this issue. https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/pull/3146

Unfortunately, #3146 does not resolve this issue ☹️ https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/pull/3146#pullrequestreview-444917559

Hi Guys,

am running these versions and am getting the above error.

Truffle v5.1.35 (core: 5.1.35)
Solidity v0.5.16 (solc-js)
Node v12.18.2
Web3.js v1.2.1

Any recommendations?

[Yeleboh]

See!!

[fainashalts]

@Yeleboh we have been working on a fix for this and I'm hoping it will be in this week's release! I'll post here with an update once that is the case. Thanks!

[Yeleboh]

@fainashalts Thank you Faina for your reply. I look forward to this fix. However, if I reverted to earlier version of truffle, could this be a temporary fix until this week's release is out?

[eggplantzzz]

@Yeleboh If you downgrade Node to version 10 it should work.

[rafarodra]

@fainashalts Please please tell us when this is s updated. I'm having the same issue.

[haltman-at]

OK, this should be fixed now!
