Is tap-min ESM-only? Can you require() it?

Minimal TAP output formatter.

Last verified Sep 9, 2026 against tap-min@3.0.0. JSON

ESM-only ESM-only since 3.0.0 — last CommonJS version is 2.0.1

tap-min dropped its CommonJS build in 3.0.0 (August 2023). The last version you can require() on every Node.js version, including 18 and older, is 2.0.1, published Aug 19, 2023.

On Node.js 20.19+, 22.12+ and every newer release, require("tap-min") works anyway: Node can load synchronous ES modules through require(). Verified on Node 20, 22, 24, 26. Node.js 18 and older still fail with ERR_REQUIRE_ESM.
