With Node v10.16.3 test runs fine. Seems like a regression in TestCafe v1.7.0. See screenshot.

Hi @sijosyn,

I reproduced the problem. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We will look into it.

Thanks @alexey-lin for accepting the issue, #4530 looks same?

@jiteshsojitra These issues seem to be different because they are reproducible under different OS's and in different node.js versions. Still, they might have a common cause, of course.

This issue is caused by a bug in Node.js: nodejs/node#19240. You can update your Node.js to the latest 8.x version (8.16.1) or downgrade to a version that doesn't contain this bug (8.9.4).

Please note that we will discontinue supporting Node.js 8.x in January 2020 due to the Node.js end-of-life schedule: https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/
