    return this._jsActionsPromise ||= this._transport.getPageJSActions(this._pageIndex);
                                  ^^^

Answer 1

Upgrading to node 16 resolved my problem, you might want to try that (if possible, of course):)

Answer 2

Downgrading my package version to 2.9.359 has resolved my problem

Answer 3

I had the same situation, with a locally installed Node v14.x too. I did something similar to Elia. D's answer , but since the binary file is self-contained with its own Node runtime, instead of upgrading my local Node version, I solved it by setting the target to use Node v16.
