Issue with mmdc on Emacs

[nicolasshu]

For some reason, I can run mmdc nicely on my terminal, but I can't get it to run the appropriate mmdc command on emacs. I keep getting the following error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'
    at Loader.moduleStrategy (internal/modules/esm/translators.js:133:18)

which was happening when I used an older npm. I have already setup the variable for the path

  (setq ob-mermaid-cli-path "/home/username/.config/nvm/versions/node/v22.15.0/bin/mmdc")

yet it still fails. Do you know why this would happen?

To help diagnose the issue, please run the interactive test script provided in your project:

1. Open a terminal in your project directory and run:

   ./dev-test.sh interactive

2. This will launch Emacs with the test environment and load test-example.org.
3. In Emacs, place your cursor on any Mermaid code block and press C-c C-c to execute it.
4. Check if the output file (e.g., test-sequence.png) is generated in the current directory.
5. If an error occurs, please copy the full error message from the *Messages* buffer.

Additionally, in Emacs, please run:

• M-x shell-command RET which mmdc RET
• M-x shell-command RET mmdc --version RET

Share the outputs of these commands and any error messages you see. This will help determine if Emacs is using the correct mmdc and Node.js environment, and whether the problem is with the environment or the code.

Let me know what you find, or if you encounter any issues with these steps.
