TestCafe crashes on Node 18

[alex-zh]

What is your Scenario?

Everything works fine on Node 14.
Update to Node 18 leads to "500 Internal Server Error" while loading
http://localhost:5003/GFxi51qUa!s!utf-8/http://localhost:8080/hub/assets/main.js
though http://localhost:8080/hub/assets/main.js is available
Checked the same problem with different domain names (besides localhost).
See attached screenshots.

What is the Current behavior?

It seems there is some internal problem with testcafe proxying, should work correctly

Hi @alex-zh,

I managed to reproduce the issue. We will update this thread once we have any news.

For the team:

1. Start http-server with any page and any port.
2. Try to open the URL with localhost in http-playground.

It happens due to this change in Node.js: nodejs/node#40537. We will try to fix it ASAP. Right now, you can add this line at the start of some of your test files or a JS config file:

require('dns').setDefaultResultOrder('ipv4first');
