Hello @thierryandreys ,

Thank you for reporting the issue. I reproduced it.

The previous lru-cache package version should work fine with testcafe in most cases. So, as a workaround, you can pin the lru-chache package version or testcafe. To do this, add an overrides section to your package.json file.

Please let us know if this workaround meets your requirements.

NOTE: according to the Node team's release schedule, version 18 will meet its end of life in April 2025. So, TestCafe will discontinue official support for this NodeJS version as well.
