import.meta' meta-property '--module' option 'es2020' 'es2022' 'esnext' 'system' 'node12' 'nodenext'

🕗 Version & Regression Information

  • This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about the module option

⏯ Playground Link

💻 Code

console.log(import.meta.url);

🙁 Actual behavior

When setting the module option to node16 or node18 you get the error message:

The 'import.meta' meta-property is only allowed when the '--module' option is 'es2020', 'es2022', 'esnext', 'system', 'node12', or 'nodenext'.

🙂 Expected behavior

node16 and node18 should be supported. import.meta.url is available in those versions of Node and it makes no sense that this setting would say that it's available in Node 12 and the latest version of Node, but not the intermediate versions of Node.
