ts-node not working with TypeScript 3.7 features

[andrew-kapustin]

An errors occurs when using optional chaining or nullish coalescing features
My code:

export default async function main() {
  const test: any = {};
  return test.qwe ?? 'test result';
}

My mocha test:

describe('Main', () => {
  it('should return test result', (done) => {
    main()
      .then((result) => {
        result.should.be.equal('test result');
        done();
      })
      .catch(done);
  });
});

Stacktrace:

$ yarn test
yarn run v1.13.0
$ yarn build && mocha
$ tsc
/home/kapustin-aa/test-ts-3.7/src/index.ts:5
    return test.qwe ?? 'hello world';
                     ^

Please search issues before creating another. Duplicate of #906 and also not a TypeScript Node issue.

If someone get to this the problem is in tsconfig , namely you've chosen "target":"esnext" it should be "es2020" or "es2019"
