ESM/CommonJS compatibility issue with chalk@5 and ora@8

[MarcinFrankowski]

I tried this:

The linter package fails to run due to ESM/CommonJS incompatibility. The package is defined as CommonJS (no "type": "module" in package.json) but uses ESM-only versions of chalk (v5) and ora (v8).

Error

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module chalk not supported.

Reproduction

1. Install @eventcatalog/linter
2. Run npx eventcatalog-linter
3. Error occurs

This happened:

Error occurs instead of linter analysing code.

I expected this:

Is there a workaround?

Downgrade dependencies to their last CommonJS-compatible versions:

• chalk: 5.x → 4.x
• ora: 8.x → 5.x

Anything else?
